Patient's question:
My baby has newborn jaundice, and I'm very worried. How should this condition be treated? What treatment should be used?Doctor's answer:
The function of the liver in our body is to enable normal metabolism. However, infants have insufficient metabolic capacity and are prone to this disease. Most cases of jaundice in newborns are physiological, and most do not require treatment, as they will gradually subside. Drinking more sugar water can accelerate the resolution of jaundice. If the symptoms of jaundice in newborns are severe, it is recommended to see a pediatrician. Phototherapy, appropriate fluid intake, and herbal remedies for clearing the liver and gallbladder, as well as jaundice-reducing herbs, can be used for syndrome differentiation treatment. If the bilirubin level continues to rise, the department will consider blood exchange therapy.
