Patient's question:
The baby was born at 1 PM on the 26th. On the third day in the morning, the jaundice level measured via transcutaneous bilirubin test was 6.1. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication. When the jaundice level was measured again in the morning on the third day, it was over 17. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment, but it didn't work. Is this okay?Question: Is blue light treatment always necessary for neonatal jaundice?
Doctor's answer:
This is the symptom that reappeared after the baby had high jaundice again. This requires treatment for jaundice, otherwise it will affect the baby's absorption. Adjust the diet well, avoid extremely cold, spicy, and seafood. Drink more water, you can drink glucose water. More sun exposure helps with full recovery.In addition, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must prevent excessive tension and worry mentally, so as to avoid unnecessary impacts on the full recovery of neonatal jaundice.
