Question
A baby born on the 26th at 2 PM had an elevated bilirubin level on the third morning after being measured percutaneously. They underwent blue light therapy. Is this normal?
Answer
Generally speaking, if jaundice is severe, it may cause other health problems even if it doesn’t affect the baby’s feeding. It is recommended to use glucose water treatment in moderation, and if the effect is not satisfactory, please follow up with treatment promptly. When symptoms of jaundice are detected, medical treatment should be sought immediately, while also strengthening self-care, increasing intake of fruits and vegetables, and avoiding stimulating food to receive professional treatment.
