Question
Is it necessary to pay special attention to hemolytic reactions during the treatment of neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Physiological jaundice can be observed without special treatment and can be treated with sunlight exposure when necessary. Depending on the severity of jaundice, phototherapy and medication can be considered, and in severe cases, blood transfusion may be required. Phototherapy is a relatively safe method. Depending on the situation, either bilateral or unilateral phototherapy can be adopted. If pathological jaundice causes hemolytic reactions, treatments such as albumin and gamma globulin can be used. Early intervention is needed if the early symptoms of nuclear jaundice are detected early.
