Question
A colleague’s child was examined in the hospital and the doctor informed that the jaundice level was 280. In this situation, is hospitalization necessary? How should treatment be carried out?
Answer
When a newborn’s jaundice level reaches 280, hospitalization is indeed necessary. It is recommended that parents immediately take the child to the hospital for further examination and treatment to avoid deterioration of the condition. For this kind of pathological jaundice, it can be initially attempted to administer oral medications such as Mommy Love and Yinzhi Huang to reduce the jaundice level. If the medication treatment is ineffective, phototherapy can be considered. All treatment measures should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Wishing for the baby’s early recovery.
