Patient's question:
On the fifth day of my child's birth, the doctor performed a blood test and found jaundice at 247. According to the hospital's standards, it exceeds 27, but we did not undergo blue light therapy. Now it's the ninth day, and the jaundice is still present. I asked some friends, and they all said to drink more sugar water.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, let's analyze it. Neonatal jaundice is generally classified as either physiological or pathological. Based on your description, it seems the child is experiencing pathological jaundice, and in this case, it is crucial to seek timely treatment for the child. Drinking sugar water only promotes excretion and generally has little effect on treatment. If the jaundice is not too severe at the moment, you can give the child Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid for jaundice treatment. Make sure the child drinks an appropriate amount of water to promote excretion and gets some sun exposure. Sugar water can be consumed in moderation, but it should not be consumed excessively.
