Question
How to treat my nephew’s jaundice index of 18.5?
Answer
Your nephew’s jaundice index is above the normal range. It’s advisable to first check his liver function. If his liver function is normal, you can give him oral jaundice granules at home and ensure he drinks plenty of water. Adequate sunlight exposure can help jaundice subside. Please take him for a follow-up at the hospital in one to two weeks. If liver function has not improved, blue light therapy and intravenous treatment may be required.
