Question
My child was found to have slightly elevated jaundice shortly after birth. After taking medication for a few days, the levels went down upon re-examination. Do I still need to take special medication to stabilize it? Please ask: Do newborns with jaundice need hospitalization treatment?
Answer
Based on your description, since newborns have a very small dosage of medication, sometimes requiring precise dosages. Medical staff are very responsible, and it is recommended to carefully observe if the child has crying, eczema, and changes in bowel movements. In addition to treating the newborn’s jaundice symptomatically, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should also be cautious in choosing a professional hospital for treatment, so that good therapeutic effects can be achieved.
