Patient's question:
My child was just born and recently went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results showed that the child's jaundice is slightly elevated. What should be done about high neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice reappears relatively shortly after birth, occurring again within 24 hours. The severity of jaundice is severe, with the whole body appearing golden yellow or with yellow palms, soles, and heart. The serum bilirubin level is greater than 12-15 mg/. The duration of jaundice is prolonged. After 2-3 weeks of birth, jaundice persists or alleviates after relief. Symptoms such as abnormal body temperature, poor appetite, and dry vomiting may occur. If the initial jaundice level is below 18, conservative treatment is recommended (conservative treatment is slower than phototherapy, so you can buy many gentian roots, boil them in water, and wipe the baby with the solution. You can also take the baby out for more sun exposure, especially sun exposure of the feet, which is very effective. Direct sun exposure through glass does not work. Giving the baby more glucose is to encourage them to drink more and metabolize quickly.)
