Patient's question:
When the child was born, it was found that the jaundice level was slightly high. After taking medicine for a few days, it went down during the re-examination. Do you still need to focus on drinking medicine to stabilize it?Question: If a newborn has high jaundice, how is it treated?
Doctor's answer:
Infant: On the third day of birth, the jaundice level was measured at 10.7. On the third day, it increased to 12.7. By the third day, medication baths to treat jaundice had already begun. On the fourth day, the level was measured at 14.4, and it has been gradually decreasing each day. Generally speaking, if the jaundice level remains below 15, it is best to hospitalize for blue light treatment in the neonatal ward.Additionally, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and consume light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information can help you. Thank you.
