Question
Female, 27 years old, as a new mother, discovered that her child had an abnormality, later learned it was jaundice. How is pediatric jaundice treated?
Answer
There are true and false jaundice in newborns. True jaundice includes pathological jaundice, such as neonatal hemolytic disease and neonatal hepatitis. False jaundice refers to physiological jaundice, which usually does not require treatment. If the baby’s jaundice level is high, it needs to be diagnosed as pathological jaundice. Treatment methods include taking Artichoke yellow granules orally, taking probiotics to regulate the intestines, and possibly stopping breastfeeding for 3-5 days for those who may have breastmilk jaundice.
