Question
My child is 10 days old and has a bilirubin level of 26. The doctor recommended blue light therapy. The main reason is the mother’s postpartum hypertension, taking antihypertensive medication. Please ask: How long does it usually take for a newborn with jaundice to be discharged from the hospital after treatment?
Answer
The bilirubin level of your baby is slightly elevated, and it is recommended to start treatment promptly and pay attention to care. You can give your baby some glucose water between meals. It is suggested to take probiotics and increase the intake of glucose water. At the same time, use Yinjiehuang oral liquid for treatment and continuously observe your baby’s condition. Diet and care during treatment are very important; please ensure that your baby gets enough vitamins, avoid diarrhea, and eat a light diet to avoid unnecessary stimulation. I hope this answer is helpful to you, thank you.
