Patient's question:
My child got jaundice at the beginning of this year. At that time, we visited many hospitals and underwent a series of treatments. After that, the recovery was quite good. In recent days, my child hasn't been feeling well, often catching colds and having diarrhea, and the body has turned yellow. I want to ask, is hospitalization necessary for newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, if severe, may require hospitalization. It can be treated with oral Yinzhihuang granules, or with blue light exposure or sunlight exposure, but the child's eyes must be covered. It is also possible to expose the child to the sun for half an hour each day, avoiding direct exposure to the child's eyes as much as possible. Give the child more plain water to drink, pay attention to preventing colds, and add an extra layer of clothing to the baby according to the indoor temperature. Bathe the baby every day.
