Question
The neonatal jaundice has been persistent for over seventy days without any sign of regression, and the test results show a positive result for giant virus antibodies. How should the care be managed?
Answer
Hello, for cases where jaundice persists without improvement, medication treatment or blue light therapy can be adopted based on the condition. At the same time, it is important to be aware of the possibility of liver and gallbladder disorders or breastfeeding jaundice. It is recommended to temporarily switch to formula feeding and to visit a pediatrician for a detailed examination and treatment. For viral infections, antiviral medications such as Ganciclovir can be used for treatment based on the condition. I hope this response is helpful to you, and wish you good health.
