Question
If a newborn has jaundice with an elevated index, is it necessary to use blue light therapy?
Answer
If the newborn’s jaundice index exceeds the normal range, i.e., the jaundice value for full-term infants is higher than 220, it may indicate pathological jaundice. In this case, it is recommended to undergo blue light therapy and to take oral “Yinzi Huangye Oral Solution” and “Butyric Acid Clostridium butyricum Enterococcus Triple Live Bacteria Tablets” to promote the regression of jaundice. If the jaundice index is too high, it may affect the baby’s brain. In addition to timely treatment, parents should maintain a positive attitude and pay attention to dietary adjustments to help the baby recover health.
