Patient's question:
My son is 22 days old and went to the hospital for jaundice. Without test results, can he be given Adenosine Triphosphate Disodium Injection, Ancobon, Coenzyme A Injection, and Heparin Sodium Injection? Do these medications have any effects on newborns?/Additional question: Later, the test revealed breast milk jaundice. Can these medications still be administered?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the application of therapeutic doses is not a problem.1. Physiological jaundice generally does not require hospitalization. Sunlight therapy at home, drinking more glucose water, and taking oral medications to support the normal intestinal flora can help with jaundice resolution.
2. Treatment of pathological jaundice: Neonatal hemolytic disease often occurs in the delivery room or high-risk infant room. Depending on the condition, treatments such as blood transfusion, phototherapy, and medication may be needed. For jaundice caused by infectious diseases, while treating the primary illness, attention should be paid to jaundice resolution therapies.
For breast milk jaundice, sunlight therapy and oral jaundice-reducing medications can be used. If necessary, breastfeeding can be temporarily stopped for three days (replaced with formula milk for three days) and then resumed. Hospitalization is not required. Biliary atresia requires surgical treatment.
