Patient's question:
The baby is ten days old, and the jaundice level is as high as 32. The doctor recommended blue light treatment, but I believe it's caused by breastfeeding because I have postpartum hypertension and am taking antihypertensive medication. Could you please advise on how to handle the situation when newborn jaundice decreases and then increases again?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check the blood and find nothing wrong, then there is no need to worry too much. You can let the baby get more sun exposure, which can have some good effects. Be mindful that the baby's eyes need to be covered while sunbathing.Neonatal jaundice is a condition that is not easy to recover from. Friends who are suffering from this should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating neonatal jaundice and believe that recovery is certain.
