Patient's question:
Three days after giving birth, Sister Three was almost ready to be discharged from the hospital, but her baby developed jaundice. The doctor at the hospital said she couldn't be discharged yet and needed to stay for treatment. I wonder how long it will take for the baby to recover from jaundice during the hospital stay. How many days will the baby need to stay in the hospital before being discharged?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. The baby has high jaundice after birth. It needs to be controlled with jaundice-reducing medication. On good weather days, you can expose the baby to sunlight appropriately. You should also take some probiotics. Between meals, you should also drink some glucose water. At the same time, you can use traditional Chinese medicine oral liquid for treatment. If it's severe, hospitalization for blue light treatment may be necessary. It's recommended to wait for three more days for observation. It would be better to discharge after improvement.
