Question
My baby is ten days old and has a bilirubin level of 47. The doctor suggests blue light therapy, but I believe it’s caused by breastfeeding since I have postpartum hypertension and am on blood pressure medication. How can a neonate with jaundice below 10 mg/dL overcome the illness?
Answer
What are the current numbers? They should be below 5 mg/dL now. Make sure the baby eats well, gets plenty of sunlight, undergoes hyperbaric oxygen therapy and swimming treatments, which have been effective, leading to a quick and complete recovery. Wishing the child health. Patients should face the dangers of neonatal jaundice head-on, and we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments without hesitation. If neonatal jaundice does not improve despite treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan promptly.
