Patient's question:
Male, 1 month illness/symptoms: . My baby is six days old and has a little jaundice. Can they drink glucose injection? How should it be used?Doctor's answer:
Giving infants glucose water does not have a good effect on neonatal jaundice, but it increases the burden on the infant's stomach. However, if you want to give it, please note: it should not be too sweet, otherwise it will affect breast milk. Jaundice in infants means that it can only be eliminated by drinking more water, but it should not be drunk excessively. Generally, it should be drunk two to three times a day, not too much, and not too sweet. It is best to reduce the amount of breast milk for jaundiced infants, and it is better not to drink breast milk but to feed formula milk. Once the infant recovers, breast milk can be resumed.
