Patient's question:
My child has been born for 15 days. On the third day, jaundice reappeared again, and it hasn't subsided yet. The yellow discoloration on the face is quite noticeable, the sclera is yellow, the gums are yellow, and the body isn't very yellow. The stool color is yellow, and the urine frequency is normal with a light yellow color.What should I do if my newborn has abdominal distension and diarrhea after being treated with blue light for jaundice?
Doctor's answer:
Next, just continue taking the medication. Whether the stool is loose or not is not important; children are naturally like this. After taking medication that matches the symptoms, there may be some bowel movements, which is also not important. What is important is to take medication that matches the symptoms to reduce jaundice. Then, follow a small amount of food and frequent meals to achieve the therapeutic effect, which will gradually improve. Symptomatic nutrition and care should be implemented.In addition to timely treatment for neonatal jaundice, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on. Only in this way can patients receive timely symptomatic treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light and plain foods, avoiding cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away neonatal jaundice.
