Patient's question:
The baby was born at 1 PM on the 26th. On the third day in the morning, the jaundice level measured through the skin was 6.1. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication. When they came back to measure the jaundice level again in the morning on the third day, it was over 24. They were taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment. It's still not visible now. Is this okay?Question: Should newborns with jaundice be hospitalized?
Doctor's answer:
The baby's jaundice is mainly caused by excessive internal damp-heat, which is related to the high temperature in the mother's body. For treating this condition, the baby can take Yinzhihuang oral liquid. If it's convenient to go to the hospital, it's still recommended to go to the hospital for cooperative blue light treatment. Wishing the baby healthy growth.In addition to treating neonatal jaundice, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
