Patient's question:
The baby was born at 1 PM on the 26th. On the third day in the morning, the jaundice level measured via transcutaneous bilirubin test was 6.1. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication. When the jaundice level was measured again in the morning on the third day, it was over 34. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment. It's still not visible now. Is that okay?Question: How can a newborn with high jaundice get rid of the illness?
Doctor's answer:
Baby jaundice is usually caused by infectious or hemolytic factors. According to your description, the child may also have some urinary tract infection. It is best to have more follow-up tests, and the degree of jaundice should also be observed. Newborns with jaundice can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding standard medical treatment. In daily diet, it is crucial to avoid being overly hungry or full, and never overeat.
