Patient's question:
I saw the doctor use just a flashlight on my child's head every day. Is this some kind of treatment? But it doesn't seem to have a very noticeable effect. Do you have any high-quality tips?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological types. If it is physiological, it is very easy to treat and will not leave any aftereffects. If it is pathological, close attention must be paid to treatment, otherwise, excessively high bilirubin levels in newborns can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, affecting the development of the child's nervous system. Therefore, active treatment and the treatment of yellowing are also methods targeting the underlying disease. The child typically enjoys sunlight, which means it has the effect of phototherapy. Oral vitamin C, probiotics, or triple live bacteria can help remove the yellowing.
