Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice is high, and after being exposed to blue light for several days, it is still high again. Please ask the doctor what to do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, consider pathological jaundice! In this case, you need to visit a pediatric department in the hospital and receive treatment with oral medication combined with blue light therapy to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy. Regular follow-up is recommended. It is advisable for your child to be examined and treated in a higher-level hospital to avoid the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy. Bilirubin encephalopathy is caused by excessively high jaundice. If obstruction is suspected, it may be due to congenital biliary atresia. Active treatment is recommended.
