Patient's question:
Hello doctor. Our child had a bit of jaundice when they were three days old. On the fourth day, the level was around ten. We have been giving them medicine since then, but it hasn't improved by the eighth day. Could you please tell me how to treat physiological jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
According to the condition, it is suspected that you have newborn jaundice. It is best to use medication to treat it. Monitor the jaundice data regularly. If there is no effect, hospitalization for blue light therapy can be considered. It is recommended to take good care of the newborn, provide plenty of fluids, breastfeed frequently, eat and defecate more, and monitor the jaundice data. If the medication does not show significant effects, hospitalization for blue light therapy can be considered. Newborn physiological jaundice can cause great harm to the child. Once the mother notices the child's symptoms, she should take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, pay more attention to the child's care issues. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the child. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
