Patient's question:
Born for a month, on the fourth day of birth, the doctor said jaundice was 14. Later, after taking Yinzhihuang Granules for three or five days, I stopped taking it when I saw it wasn't yellow. Please ask what to do if a newborn's jaundice is severe and it's not hemolytic disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello. The baby is 9 days old, and it should still be in the physiological jaundice period. A bilirubin level of 15 is recommended for phototherapy, which is also known as blue light treatment. When using blue light treatment, bilirubin levels will rise quickly, and it is generally unlikely to cause harm to brain cells. When jaundice levels are very high, it may lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, which can even cause convulsions and leave behind sequelae. In addition, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, apart from immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of neonatal jaundice.
