Question

What should be done if a neonate experiences abdominal distension and diarrhea after receiving jaundice blue light therapy?

Answer

Abdominal distension and diarrhea in neonates after receiving jaundice blue light therapy may be due to abdominal cold, indigestion, or the use of jaundice-reducing medications. It is recommended to apply Baby One-Touch Plaster at the navel and conduct regular stool checks. Additionally, consider taking oral probiotics and Montmorillonite powder to adjust gastrointestinal function. While undergoing the standard treatment for neonatal jaundice, it is important to pay attention to proper diet and maintain a cheerful mood. Choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure good treatment outcomes.
