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 20. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light therapy and is now invisible. Is this okay? Please ask: What should be done if the newborn has abdominal distension after blue light therapy?Doctor's answer:
After exposure to blue light, there is a symptom of nausea and vomiting. So your current condition is an adverse reaction after exposure to blue light. Newborn care should adhere to breastfeeding, and vaccination against five diseases should not be forgotten to prevent the spread of infection, including newborn visits. There are several treatment methods for newborn jaundice, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods adopted will also vary. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to treat the symptoms accordingly.
