Patient's question:
The child has just been born for a few days, but now the check-up says there is jaundice. Is this jaundice level very high?Doctor's answer:
The jaundice has been consistently high, requiring timely blue light therapy and oral administration of Yinzhihuang Granules to reduce jaundice and prevent further progression of bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Typically, blue light therapy needs to be sustained for about a week. If the condition worsens further, a blood transfusion may be necessary. Pathological jaundice is suspected. It is essential to seek medical attention promptly for blue light treatment. If possible, the child can also be exposed to sunlight more often. It is best to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
