Question
Should newborns drink more sugar water for jaundice?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice can be helped by drinking an appropriate amount of warm water, but it’s not necessary to drink excessive amounts to avoid stimulating the digestive tract and causing exudative inflammation. Depending on the baby’s jaundice levels, appropriate blue light therapy and oral treatments can be adopted. Generally, recovery occurs within 3-5 weeks. I’m not sure about the current levels of your child. Have they undergone any treatments? It is recommended to proceed with medication treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
