Patient's question:
The baby was born at 1:00 PM on the 26th. On the third day in the morning, the jaundice level measured through the skin 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 35. We were taken directly to the neonatal department to undergo blue light treatment. It's still not visible now. Is this okay?Please ask: What are the appropriate measures for newborn jaundice?
Doctor's answer:
This situation has no effect on the baby, as long as the dosage is not excessive, there is no problem. Before taking stomach medicine, it is recommended to check the instructions and use the medicine according to the doctor's advice to avoid medication errors and unnecessary harm to the body. There are several treatment methods for neonatal jaundice, but since the symptoms of the patients are different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible after discovering symptoms.
