Patient's question:
Does neonatal jaundice fluctuate up and down? It has already come down, but suddenly it went back up. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
If the jaundice index of the newborn fluctuates between high and low, it is still considered to be caused by lack of control and instability. It is mainly treated through blue light emission and oral therapy, or can also be treated with intravenous antijaundice drugs as long as the jaundice index can be reduced in a timely manner. This is not important, mainly to avoid serious complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus, and it is seriously in need of alternative therapy.
