Patient's question:
My wife is about to give birth in a week, but I heard that the baby might have jaundice after birth. If it's too high, it can be dangerous and require hospital treatment. I'm a little worried now and want to learn how to prevent high jaundice in babies in advance.Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice is a physiological condition, and the child feels no discomfort, so there is no need to panic upon discovering jaundice. For newborn babies to prevent high jaundice levels: give the baby more water, more glucose water, more sunlight exposure, and encourage the baby to have more bowel movements, which will help alleviate jaundice faster. If jaundice persists after the postpartum period, it is essential to visit a hospital for blue light treatment. It is recommended to go to a large hospital for the baby's examination.
