Question
How do you treat high jaundice in newborns?
Answer
The treatment for newborn jaundice depends on its cause. Jaundice can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. In your daughter’s case, her jaundice is pathological. The doctor has already conducted checks and ruled out hemolytic possibilities. Based on the diagnosis, blue light therapy is required to promote the early recovery of jaundice. Blue light treatment generally takes a few days, with the specific duration and frequency determined by the child’s condition. It’s important to note that jaundice is not usually caused by hunger, so your daughter’s high jaundice may not be related to hunger. I hope this information is helpful to you, and wish your daughter good health!
