Question
Will a neonatal jaundice level of 23 harm the baby’s brain?
Answer
Currently, neonatal jaundice does not immediately affect the baby’s brain. However, it is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to confirm the type of jaundice. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can adopt blue light therapy, take jaundice-reducing medication, and other treatment methods to treat it in a timely manner, which will not affect the baby’s intelligence. In addition, when the baby is free, you can take him or her out to sunbathe, and if breastfeeding, it is recommended that the mother eat a light diet.
