Question

The newborn was premature by 6 weeks, and it has been a week since they were born. They have been in the incubator for a week now, but the total bilirubin level is still 204, indicating severe jaundice. What should be done for newborns with high bilirubin and C-reactive protein levels?

Answer

The child currently has severe jaundice and requires timely treatment with jaundice-lowering medications and careful nursing. Consider using Yinjie Huang oral solution for treatment and supplementing probiotics. Additionally, drinking a moderate amount of glucose water and increasing outdoor activities and sun exposure can be beneficial. For newborn jaundice, it is crucial to take timely symptomatic treatment measures. If symptoms persist, adjust the treatment plan promptly.
