Question
How should a newborn’s jaundice be treated when it rises to 17? Do they need to be hospitalized for blue light therapy? Are there any other treatment options?
Answer
Hello, parents, I’m glad to answer your question. Jaundice levels up to 11 are considered normal. You can give your baby some probiotics to regulate their condition. Additionally, you can mix glucose with water and have your baby drink it, and also use sunlight lamps and expose them to sunlight. These methods can help jaundice gradually subside. If the baby’s jaundice level is very high, it is recommended to seek medical treatment. Hospitals will place the baby in an incubator for blue light therapy.
