Question
My newborn is 30 days old, what should I do about the jaundice?
Answer
Is the newborn’s jaundice at 30 days old, with a bilirubin level of 10.5 to 14.9 in the face and 10.9 in the chest, considered high? How should this be treated effectively? Hello, based on the measurement results, your child’s bilirubin level is slightly elevated. It is recommended to first observe the situation. If it is not severe, probiotic medications can be considered. It is suggested that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up, where anti-jaundice medications or blue light therapy can be administered. Additionally, increasing the child’s fluid intake can also help alleviate jaundice symptoms. If breastfeeding is insufficient, it may also lead to a prolonged duration of jaundice, at which point increasing the frequency of breastfeeding should be considered. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
