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 was measured again in the morning on the third day, it was over 37. We were taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment. It's still not visible now. Is this okay?Question: How can we get rid of the problem when a newborn has high jaundice?
Doctor's answer:
In your case, you must be admitted to the pediatric ward for treatment. I suggest you go to a larger hospital, a Class III-A hospital, to have a thorough check-up and see how high the baby's jaundice level is, and then treat it properly. In addition to treating neonatal jaundice, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and speed up recovery.
