Patient's question:
The question of how to treat baby jaundice. Just over a month old, not sure when it will occur (the room lighting is not very good). About ten days ago, I noticed that the face and neck were very yellow, and the eyes were too. I would like to understand the types of baby jaundice and their treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Lighting: Special instruments emit specific light on the baby's skin to help excrete bilirubin. Supplemental intravenous fluids increase the baby's fluid intake, aiding in bilirubin excretion. In severe jaundice, hospital doctors will treat the underlying cause, such as medication, blood transfusion, or even surgery. At the same time, Simao Decoction combined with intestinal microecological preparations can promote bilirubin decomposition and reduce its reabsorption. Bilirubin levels can be lowered through a dual mechanism. Clinically, combining blue light therapy can achieve rapid jaundice.
