Patient's question:
My child has neonatal jaundice. I want to buy a neonatal jaundice meter, but I don't know how to measure it. Is neonatal jaundice 280 high? What is the usage method for measuring neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice refers to abnormal bilirubin metabolism during the neonatal period, leading to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood and symptoms such as jaundiced skin. First, measure the bilirubin level. Your child's bilirubin level is 280, which is already very high. It is recommended to cook bilberry powder, use gentian water for bathing, wash the face and eyes to remove jaundice, and drink Gentiana macrophylla granules to protect the liver, which can reduce "blood bilirubin." Additionally, it is suggested to give your child appropriate amounts of water to help with urination and aid in jaundice reduction.
