Question
My baby was found to have slightly elevated bilirubin levels right after birth. After taking medication for a few days, the levels went down during re-examination. Do I still need to take the medication diligently to stabilize it? What kind of diet is effective for neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Loratadine is a commonly used medication for treating neonatal jaundice, but it should be used with caution during pregnancy and lactation. Therefore, it is best to stop breastfeeding during medication. In addition to medication treatment, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to speed up recovery.
