Question
A 28-year-old woman’s newborn baby has been diagnosed with jaundice. What are the treatment methods for neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Patients with neonatal jaundice can undergo phototherapy and dispersal treatment. It is recommended that parents seek medical attention immediately upon discovering their child has jaundice, as jaundice cannot be treated outside of a regular hospital. If neonatal jaundice is not treated promptly, it may lead to bilirubin encephalopathy. Patients should pay attention to maintaining a light diet, staying emotionally relaxed, avoiding staying up late or oversleeping, ensuring adequate sleep, and maintaining an exercise habit. They should also avoid overeating or undereating.
