Patient's question:
For newborns, when they have jaundice themselves, how can we quickly reduce their fever? Can they be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Newborns with high jaundice index. The main treatment methods include blue light irradiation and medication. Or intravenous administration of jaundice-fighting medication. As long as the jaundice index can be reduced in a timely manner. It doesn't matter. The main goal is to avoid serious complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Severe cases may require blood transfusion treatment. Jaundice does not cause fever. Random use of medication may lead to an increase in your own bilirubin levels. Which may make the jaundice more severe. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not use medication casually.
