Patient's question:
For newborns with jaundice, how can we quickly reduce their fever? Can medication be used for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Infants with high jaundice index primarily undergo blue light therapy combined with medication, or receive intravenous administration of jaundice treatment drugs. As long as the jaundice index can be reduced in a timely manner, it is not a concern, mainly to avoid serious complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Severe cases may require blood transfusion treatment. Jaundice does not cause fever. Random use of medication may lead to an increase in your own bilirubin levels, which could worsen jaundice. Therefore, it is recommended not to use medication arbitrarily.
