Question
The newborn was born at 1 PM on the 26th. The jaundice value measured percutaneously on the third morning was 6.1, and no medication was administered. When measured again on the third morning, the jaundice value had risen above 25, and the baby was immediately sent to the pediatric department for blue light therapy. How should newborn jaundice be effectively treated?
Answer
In this situation, it is usually recommended to combine the use of Barley Malt Granules medication for treatment. At the same time, it is encouraged to increase breastfeeding frequency and supplement fluids to promote the metabolism of jaundice in the body. The mother should maintain a mild diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. In fact, newborn jaundice is not an incurable disease; if it is detected early and treated promptly, there is a considerable chance of stable condition and recovery.
