Patient's question:
The newborn child is now 10 days old. Since the third day of birth, their face has been slightly yellow, and there has been no improvement so far. Currently, only the face is yellow, but the body is not. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the examination results, it is pathological, with high jaundice levels. Medication treatment and blue light exposure are required. It is recommended to let the child drink some warm water or glucose water appropriately, which is beneficial for jaundice reduction. The older the child, the more difficult it is for jaundice to subside. Generally, it takes about 7-10 days. The treatment of jaundice primarily involves targeting the cause of the jaundice. For example, infections or hemolysis can cause jaundice, and different causes require different treatment methods.
