Patient's question:
My best friend's child was just born and was told to have jaundice. Her husband wasn't around either. Since I haven't had a baby either and didn't know what to do, I wanted to ask the doctor, what should I do if a newborn has jaundice at 280?Doctor's answer:
In this case, blue light therapy can be performed at the hospital. Blue light therapy is very effective in treating neonatal jaundice. If the condition is under control after treatment, discharge treatment can be carried out under the doctor's advice. The child can be given Yinzhihuang for treatment, and it is also helpful to let the child get more sun exposure, which greatly aids in treating jaundice. It is recommended to let the child drink some glucose water or warm water appropriately, and to go to the hospital for follow-up checks at regular intervals.
