Patient's question:
A friend's newborn baby has jaundice, and my wife's child also has jaundice. Is the probability of newborns having jaundice really that high? How is newborn jaundice treated? If a newborn gets this disease right after birth, will they never get this disease again when they grow up?Doctor's answer:
Newborn jaundice needs to be determined whether it is physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice? If it is physiological jaundice, pay attention to sunlight exposure and do not regularly go to the hospital for bilirubin tests. If it is pathological jaundice, then it is necessary to be hospitalized for treatment. Hospital treatment mainly involves implementing blue light exposure for the child. Of course, if the child's bilirubin level is particularly high, considering hemolysis or some special conditions, it is also necessary to provide many other special solutions.
