Patient's question:
The baby was born at 1 PM on the 26th. On the third day in the morning, the jaundice level measured via transcutaneous bilirubin test was 6.1. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication. When the jaundice level was measured again in the morning on the third day, it was over 26. The baby was taken directly to the neonatal department for blue light treatment and is now invisible. Is this okay?Question: How should the issue of jaundice in newborns be handled?
Doctor's answer:
The current jaundice index is still relatively high, and this blood type does not match the blood type for hemolytic jaundice. It is recommended that you give the baby oral Yinzhihuang Granules to reduce jaundice, or admit the baby to the hospital for blue light therapy, both of which have good effects on reducing jaundice. In addition, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of neonatal jaundice.
