Question
The newborn was premature by 6 weeks and has been born for a week now. They have been in the incubator for a week, but the bilirubin level is still at 209, indicating severe jaundice. Can neonatal jaundice be treated with glucose?
Answer
Based on the patient’s condition, it is first necessary to consider symptoms possibly caused by infectious factors. During clinical diagnosis, it should be prioritized to consider symptomatic treatment measures such as anti-infection and can also consider the use of digestive enzyme medications. In addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient’s dietary status and mental state are also very important. The patient needs to avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent affecting the recovery of neonatal jaundice.
