Question

What should be done to treat neonatal jaundice diagnosed in newborns?

Answer

Based on the detailed numerical examination, this condition is classified as pathological jaundice. The index for physiological jaundice generally does not fall below 10 units, while pathological jaundice requires more observation and treatment. When treatment effects are evident, it is important to carefully monitor whether the jaundice index rises to ensure that there is no impact on the baby’s growth and development. According to the current examination results, this newborn can be considered for discharge.
