Patient's question:
A newborn baby has a bit of yellow on their skin. I'm a first-time parent and don't know much about it. I heard from others that newborn babies are supposed to develop jaundice. Is this normal? If the baby has jaundice, please ask: Should blue light treatment be used if the newborn's jaundice index is high?Doctor's answer:
This value is high, and the normal jaundice level for full-term infants should not exceed 220. If it falls below this range, it indicates pathological jaundice.Recommendation: It is recommended to undergo blue light therapy for the newborn, while also taking oral medications such as "Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid" and "Trifecta Lactobacillus Tablets" to reduce jaundice.
Excessive jaundice levels can affect the baby's brain. In addition to timely treatment for neonatal jaundice, it is important for patients to maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can their immunity be strengthened and their belief in overcoming the illness be enhanced. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary care, with a focus on light and nutritious foods, avoiding cold and stimulating foods. It is believed that this approach will help drive away neonatal jaundice.
