Patient's question:
A newborn born prematurely 6 weeks ago has been in the incubator for a week, but their total bilirubin level is still 202, with severe jaundice. Please ask: How should persistent jaundice in newborns be treated?Doctor's answer:
From your description of your child's condition, it appears that this could be due to breast milk jaundice, which is nothing to worry about. There's no major issue. It is recommended to feed your child more water and expose them to sunlight intentionally to help reduce the jaundice. The lactating mother should pay attention to a light and easily digestible diet. In addition to timely treatment, newborns with jaundice should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover quickly from this condition. I hope the above answer is helpful to you. Thank you.
