Question
How to treat neonatal jaundice at 10 days old?
Answer
When the bilirubin index exceeds 200, it is considered pathological jaundice, and timely blue light therapy and the oral administration of silymarin granules are necessary to reduce jaundice and prevent further exacerbation of bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Typically, continuous blue light therapy is required for about a week. If the condition worsens, blood exchange therapy may be needed.
