Patient's question:
My daughter just had her baby one week ago, and her jaundice index is currently 9. She looks quite yellow now. I want to ask if a jaundice index of 9 is high, and what is the best way to treat it? I am very anxious right now.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your information, the baby is 7 days old and the jaundice index is 9, which is not very high, so there is no need to be nervous. However, it is still necessary to identify the cause of jaundice and preferably rule out jaundice caused by ABO hemolytic disease. It is recommended to take the baby to the local hospital for neonatal treatment. After further examination, targeted treatment can be carried out. You can also get more sunlight, drink more water, take medication for treatment, reduce the circulation of bilirubin in the intestines and liver, and promote the excretion of bilirubin.
