Question
My baby has neonatal hemolytic disease, what should be the treatment? (Female, 6 days old)
Answer
The main treatments include antibody therapy, jaundice reduction, and intravenous immunoglobulin, which has the effect of antibody therapy. The bilirubin level is indeed quite high, and albumin has the effect of binding bilirubin. It may seem a bit late, but generally, hemolytic jaundice recurs within 24 hours. Once yellowing is observed, it should be resolved. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but since the patient’s condition varies, the medical treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to go to a professional institution for detailed testing as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
