What should be done when a newborn has high jaundice and high C-reactive protein?

Patient's question:

A newborn born prematurely 6 weeks ago has been in the incubator for a week, but their total bilirubin level is still 204, with severe jaundice. What should be done about high jaundice and high C-reactive protein in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

The child currently has a slightly high level of jaundice and needs to be treated with jaundice-reducing medication in a timely manner. Please pay attention to nursing care. It is necessary to use Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid for treatment, and probiotics should also be taken. Drinking glucose water is recommended. On good weather days, it is important to engage in outdoor activities and get some sun.
Facing the harm of neonatal jaundice, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If neonatal jaundice does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted in a timely manner.
