Question
My baby was born 5 days ago and their skin is slightly yellow. I want to know about the treatment methods for neonatal jaundice.
Answer
It is recommended to regularly measure bilirubin levels to clearly differentiate between physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. For physiological jaundice, simply strengthening the baby’s feeding and promoting defecation will cause the jaundice to gradually subside. The treatment of jaundice requires comprehensive treatment and also attention to the prevention and treatment of other possible diseases, such as hypoxia, hypercapnia, and infection.
