Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and their skin looks particularly yellow. The doctor said this is infant jaundice. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
After infant jaundice, we need to first determine the type of jaundice in the child. If the child's jaundice is pathological, treatment is required. We must choose treatment measures based on the type of pathological jaundice the child has. If it is simply elevated bilirubin, phototherapy can be chosen. If it is caused by hemolysis, immunoglobulin should be used for antibody blockade treatment. If it is caused by infectious factors, antibiotics are needed for anti-infection treatment. Therefore, the treatment measures differ depending on the type of jaundice in the child.
