Question
How should one treat neonatal jaundice if it occurs, and what nursing measures should be taken after neonatal jaundice develops?
Answer
Hello. Newborns usually have physiological jaundice at birth, which typically appears within two days after birth and resolves naturally within seven days, with the jaundice index not exceeding 12.9. It is recommended to bring the child to a regular hospital for examination. If the jaundice index exceeds 12.9, it is suggested to take jaundice-reducing medication and consider blue light therapy, while also conducting regular follow-ups. Provide the child with a moderate amount of glucose water. Neonates commonly experience such symptoms, so parents do not need to be overly concerned.
