Patient's question:
The child has been born for more than ten days. Previously, due to pneumonia, we couldn't see them in the ICU, and only recently have they been brought home. I noticed that the child's skin is a bit yellow, and combined with the previous pneumonia, I'm very worried. Could you please explain: What should I do if newborn jaundice doesn't decrease in value?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it's unclear whether the treatment duration hasn't been long enough or if you need to persist with the treatment. Suggestions: According to your condition, it is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Whether a blood test needs to be conducted or not should be carefully considered, and closely observe the baby's mental state. Neonatal jaundice is a serious condition, and it is advised that patients seek timely treatment. It is hoped that the patient can respond to the doctor's advice for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above suggestions are hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
