Neonatal jaundice has been hospitalized for two days, how to treat it next

Patient's question:

A newborn born prematurely 6 weeks ago has been in the incubator for a week, but the total bilirubin level is still 213, with severe jaundice. Please ask: After the newborn with jaundice has been hospitalized for two days, how should the treatment continue?

Doctor's answer:

If jaundice is caused by low protein, it is necessary to administer protein. Some cases may also require the implementation of dispersing function therapy. First and foremost, it is important to identify the cause of the child's jaundice and treat the complications by addressing the root. Sterilize the umbilicus on time to prevent the spread of infection. Additionally, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information can help you. Thank you.
