Patient's question:
My baby developed jaundice symptoms due to inflammation. The doctor prescribed some medication for him, but his jaundice condition has not subsided. I don't know how to treat it. What should I do about jaundice caused by inflammation in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Infants with high jaundice index are primarily treated with blue light exposure and oral Gentian and Coptis Fruit granules, or intravenous administration of jaundice-fighting drugs. As long as the jaundice index can be reduced in a timely manner, it is unrelated to jaundice, and the main goal is to avoid severe complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. In severe cases, blood transfusion treatment may be required. I suggest that the child's condition should be thoroughly discussed with the doctor to explore whether there are other effective methods for treatment.
