Question
After forty days of birth, the baby’s face shows jaundice, and the condition worsened one week after discharge. It is said that it may be physiological jaundice, which will naturally regress in about a month and does not require medication. How should newborn jaundice be quickly dispersed?
Answer
If the newborn still has skin jaundice after more than forty days, it is not excluded that it may be pathological jaundice. It is recommended to go to a professional pediatric hospital for diagnosis immediately. After relevant examinations and tests, once the condition is confirmed, active measures for jaundice treatment should be taken. Jaundice treatment can include blue light therapy to promote bilirubin excretion from the body. Treatment should be timely to avoid potential damage to brain cells from excessively high bilirubin levels.
