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 207, indicating severe jaundice. Here are the questions: What should be done if the newborn's jaundice is too high and they cannot be discharged?Doctor's answer:
Newborn babies usually have jaundice, which can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. If the jaundice level is high, it is advisable to drink more warm water, undergo blue light treatment, and cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period for newborn jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should pay close attention to their diet and eat more light meals to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
