Question
When my child was just born, it was found that the bilirubin levels were slightly elevated. After taking medication for a few days, the levels went down after re-examination. Do I still need to be careful about taking the medication to stabilize it? How should neonatal jaundice be handled when the levels are elevated?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, your baby is experiencing a physiological jaundice period. After undergoing blue light therapy, the bilirubin index has significantly increased, indicating that the treatment is effective. There is no need for gamma globulin, which is a medication to boost immunity. In addition to medication for treating neonatal jaundice, patients should also pay attention to diet, such as eating light and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. At the same time, patients should seek medical advice from a top-tier hospital to ensure a good treatment outcome.
