Question
The neonate was born six weeks premature and is one week old. The baby has been in an incubator for a week, but the total bilirubin level remains high at 193, indicating severe jaundice. How can neonatal jaundice be treated to return to normal?
Answer
Based on your description, for severe jaundice, it is best to consider blue light therapy. It is recommended that the mother consume nutrient-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and lean meat during breastfeeding to promote the neonate’s physical health. Neonatal jaundice can have a serious impact on the patient’s health, so medical attention should be sought immediately upon discovering symptoms. At the same time, pay attention to a healthy diet, focusing on light foods, and hope that neonatal jaundice patients can receive professional treatment.
