Question
What if a newborn shows jaundice and the measured jaundice level reaches 205? Is this situation severe?
Answer
A newborn’s jaundice level is slightly higher than the normal range. In this case, it is recommended to first use medication under the guidance of a local doctor. At the same time, increase the baby’s water intake and provide moderate sunlight exposure to observe if the jaundice symptoms improve. The specific treatment plan should be carried out under the guidance of a local doctor. If symptoms do not improve after a period of treatment, blue light therapy can be considered. It is advisable to have detailed communication with the doctor to obtain more appropriate treatment advice.
