Patient's question:
Newborn 12 days old with jaundice level of 13, white tongue, and red tip of the tongue. How to regulate this? Please ask the doctor what method is the fastest to treat, as the child is too young and we need the doctor to help us as soon as possible.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice in children is a disease characterized by abnormal bilirubin metabolism, which leads to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood and manifests as jaundice in the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. It is generally treatable with medication, commonly using liver enzyme inducers (such as phenobarbital) and intravenous immunoglobulin. You can also try blood transfusion therapy, which can effectively reduce bilirubin, replace sensitized red blood cells, and reduce anemia.
