Question
How to treat high jaundice in newborns?
Answer
Full-term infants may develop jaundice 2-3 days after birth, with the jaundice reaching its peak between 4-6 days and gradually subsiding by 7-10 days. If the jaundice continues to decline but persists for 1-2 weeks without fading, pathological jaundice may be present. It is recommended to hospitalize the patient for observation and to persist with breastfeeding. In addition to timely treatment for newborn jaundice, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease to receive timely treatment for symptoms. They should also pay attention to diet and care, ensuring a balanced diet and timely digestion of body nutrition. This is believed to help in the recovery of newborn jaundice.
