Patient's question:
My nephew is two weeks old, but his jaundice is a bit high. My mother sits on the balcony holding him in the sun every day and has also taken medicine to reduce jaundice. She also gave him some grape juice, but the effect is not obvious. The internet says that if a newborn's jaundice is too high, it could be pathological. What should I do if a newborn has high jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, if the jaundice is too high, it needs to be treated with blue light and oral medication. Normally, you must give the baby more sunlight and take the medicine on time. If the jaundice is still high after the full moon, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check if the jaundice level is within the normal range and find the cause of the treatment. If hospitalization is not always necessary, you need to be hospitalized for treatment.
