Question
Hello, my friend. My child has been born for over a month now. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that my child’s bilirubin levels were too high. I don’t know what’s going on, so I’d like to ask the doctor how to deal with high bilirubin levels in newborns?
Answer
The bilirubin levels for this child are quite high. In this situation, the child can take medication to eliminate the jaundice. Typically, the child can also drink some water and get some sunlight exposure, which will help improve the jaundice. If the jaundice persists and does not improve, the child can also receive blue light therapy. I hope the child’s symptoms can be improved quickly and grow up healthily and happily.
