Patient's question:
When the child was born, it was found that the jaundice level was a bit high. After taking medicine for a few days, it went down during the follow-up check. Do you still need to focus on drinking medicine to stabilize it? Please ask: How should newborn jaundice with a high index be handled?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the baby has been born for 3 days, and the jaundice condition is as follows. It is considered to be pathological jaundice, and it is recommended to provide blue light therapy to help reduce jaundice. It is best to give the baby blue light therapy to reduce jaundice and monitor the jaundice index closely to avoid the recurrence of complications such as hyperbilirubinemia encephalopathy due to excessively high jaundice.Additionally, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
