Patient's question:
The baby is ten days old, and the jaundice level is as high as 35. The doctor recommended blue light therapy, but I believe it's caused by breastfeeding because I have postpartum hypertension and am taking blood pressure medication. Could you please explain: what does it mean when a newborn's jaundice blood test results are high?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is still advisable to follow the doctor's guidance and suggestions. You should go to the pediatric specialist outpatient department to register and complete the hospitalization procedures. Then, the system will recommend medication based on the symptoms. It is recommended to regularly check the jaundice index and blood parameters, and to closely monitor the child's condition.Give the baby more water to aid metabolism. Newborns with jaundice can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding the appropriate medication. In daily diet, avoid being overly hungry or full, and never overeat or binge on food.
