Patient's question:
Born for a month, on the fourth day of birth, the doctor said jaundice was 14. After taking Yinzhihuang Granules for three or five days, I stopped taking it when I saw it wasn't yellow. Please ask what should be done if a newborn's jaundice is high?Doctor's answer:
Newborn jaundice index normal values: Normal condition: It reappears after birth on the 2-5th day, and disappears within 14 days for full-term infants and within 4 weeks for preterm infants. The serum bilirubin level for full-term infants is 205 mmol/L, and for preterm infants, it is 257 mmol/L. You can stop breastfeeding for a few days, as there is a high possibility of breast milk jaundice. Switch to formula feeding and drink some Yinzhihuang oral liquid. Drinking some sugar water or glucose water is also helpful.In addition to treating newborn jaundice, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
