Question
The newborn was diagnosed with high jaundice soon after birth and is currently undergoing treatment. However, the child seems to be uncomfortable, mostly lying still, and the parents are at a loss as to what to do, watching the child suffer and feeling heartbroken.
Answer
For newborns with high jaundice levels, treatment usually involves phototherapy combined with oral medication, or the administration of anti-jaundice drugs through infusion. As long as the jaundice levels can be reduced in a timely manner, severe complications such as kernicterus can be effectively prevented. In severe cases, blood transfusion may be required. Currently, what are your child’s jaundice levels? What is the doctor’s treatment recommendation? Additionally, giving the child more water to promote urination is also an effective method of treatment.
