Question
The newborn’s jaundice level was slightly elevated upon birth. After taking medication for a few days, the retest results have decreased. Do I still need to focus on taking the medicine to stabilize it? Please ask: What should be done if a newborn’s jaundice level is high and how can it return to normal?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may have physiological jaundice. You can give him or her “Inulinum,” along with plenty of water, and intentionally expose them to sunlight to help jaundice subside. It is recommended to carefully observe the effects of these methods while also paying attention to any other discomforts. The mother should pay attention to a light and easy-to-digest diet. Jaundice in newborns is not easy to completely recover. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with an optimistic mindset, as this is the only way to boost their confidence in combating newborn jaundice and believe that recovery is possible.
