Patient's question:
The baby is ten days old, and the jaundice level is as high as 43. The doctor recommended blue light treatment, but I believe it's caused by breastfeeding because I have postpartum hypertension and am taking blood pressure medication. Please ask: What should I do about this jaundice issue in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Children can undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and swimming therapy can be coordinated for better results. It promotes rapid and complete recovery, preventing relapse and recurrence of liver damage and kernicterus. Medication and blue light therapy both have side effects. Prompt treatment is essential, in addition to timely treatment for neonatal jaundice, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should be careful when choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
