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 29. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment. It's still not visible now. Is this okay? Please ask: Is hospitalization required for newborn jaundice that is high?Doctor's answer:
On the third day after birth, jaundice reaches its peak, and it is necessary to give the baby Yinzhihuang. You can give the baby Yinzhihuang and Braham's live bacteria powder. At the same time, give the baby more glucose water to drink. Proper sun exposure can also help alleviate jaundice.Jaundice in newborns can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, focus on self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding foods. We hope that newborn jaundice patients can receive professional treatment.
