Patient's question:
The doll appeared physiological jaundice within two or three days of birth. The elders at home said that at this time, appropriate massage can be given to the doll, which can help reduce jaundice. I would like to ask how to massage and regulate the baby's jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture has no significant effect. If the baby's jaundice index is high, the main treatments are using blue light therapy and oral Gentian and Coptis Fruit particles to reduce jaundice. Intravenous administration of jaundice-reducing drugs can also be used for treatment. As long as the jaundice index can be reduced promptly, there is no major concern. The main goal is to avoid severe complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. In severe cases, blood transfusion treatment may be required.
