Question
Our baby was not normal at birth, and we are very worried. We went to the hospital for a check-up. What medications can be used to relieve recurring neonatal jaundice?
Answer
The premature baby is 40 days old and has been hospitalized twice before due to jaundice. Today, the transcutaneous bilirubin level is very high. It is necessary to go to the local children’s hospital for a follow-up visit, blood tests for liver function, blood culture, and examination for neonatal hepatitis syndrome or cytomegalovirus infection. It is recommended to treat symptomatically and be discharged after recovery.
