Question
How to Handle Neonatal Jaundice on the Fourth Day of Birth?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice refers to the yellowing of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes due to elevated bilirubin levels in the serum. Hemolytic jaundice occurs when blood types are incompatible, leading to the destruction of a large number of red blood cells and the production of excessive indirect bilirubin. It can be diagnosed through a detailed blood test. In addition to treating neonatal jaundice symptomatically, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as having a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. It is also recommended that patients consult at an authoritative hospital for a good therapeutic effect.
