Patient's question:
When the child was born, it was found that the jaundice level was slightly high. After taking the medicine for a few days, the follow-up test showed a decrease. Is it still necessary to focus on drinking medicine to stabilize it? Please ask: How should neonatal jaundice be treated for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Mother is type O blood, and the child is prone to repeated hemolysis, which is manifested as obvious jaundice. Now, on the third day, the baby's bilirubin level has reached 11.1, indicating that the jaundice is elevated. In this case, it is not advisable to simply rely on Yinzhihuang (a traditional Chinese medicine for jaundice), and hospitalization for close observation is necessary. Blue light therapy or even disintegration therapy may be required if necessary. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.Faced with the harm of neonatal jaundice, we should actively implement examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If neonatal jaundice does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
