Question
After the third day of birth, the neonatal jaundice level measured by transcutaneous measurement rose sharply from 6.1 to over 36, and the baby was immediately sent to the neonatal department for phototherapy. How should one effectively address the situation of elevated neonatal jaundice levels?
Answer
For neonates with elevated jaundice levels, it is usually recommended to take medications that have a deyellowing effect. For example, treatments with Yinzi Huang oral solution and probiotics can be used, along with phototherapy as an effective option. In the treatment process, in addition to timely medical intervention, parents’ dietary management and mental state are also extremely important. It is advisable to avoid excessive tension and worry, as this may have unnecessary effects on the recovery of neonatal jaundice.
