Question
The newborn’s skin was white with a pink tinge at birth, but recently the skin and urine have turned yellow. Diagnosis shows high bilirubin levels. How should we handle the issue of high bilirubin levels in newborns?
Answer
Dear parents, hello. High bilirubin levels in newborns can be treated with oral indigo naturalis solution. During this period, it is recommended to encourage the baby to drink more water and increase urination frequency to promote metabolism. At the same time, it is suggested to expose the baby to more sunlight, which can help effectively eliminate jaundice. If the baby is still breastfeeding, it is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding for about a week. Resume breastfeeding once the baby’s jaundice subsides.
