Question
How to handle newborn jaundice with blood levels over 200?
Answer
Newborn jaundice refers to a condition where, due to abnormal bilirubin metabolism during the neonatal period, the level of bilirubin in the blood increases, leading to yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclerae. This is one of the most common clinical problems in newborns. According to the current status of the jaundice test, if it is not very high and there are no other adverse symptoms, it should be physiological jaundice and generally does not require special treatment. In this patient’s case, the condition is relatively severe, and it is considered to be neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. It is recommended to actively seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
