Question
My child is ten days old and their jaundice level has reached 37. The doctor recommended blue light therapy, but I believe it’s caused by breastfeeding, as I have postpartum hypertension and have been taking blood pressure medication. I would like to ask: Will neonatal jaundice have any effects in the future?
Answer
For neonates with severe jaundice, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately and to treat the condition according to the doctor’s advice without blindly trusting advertised medications, as this may worsen the condition. For this type of jaundice, it is recommended to use drugs with jaundice-reducing effects, such as Astragalus Oral Solution and probiotics. Additionally, blue light therapy can also be considered. The above suggestions are for reference only, and I hope the answer provided can be of help. Thank you.
