Question
How to handle newborn jaundice that has lasted for over 20 days and reached a level of 10?
Answer
If a 20-day-old newborn’s jaundice index drops to 10, it is already within the normal range, and you should consider adjusting the medication dosage or stopping the medication. For breast milk jaundice, although it may recur after subsiding, it can be relieved by increasing the dosage of artichoke yellow oral liquid, with a recommendation of 2-3 milliliters taken 2-3 times a day. At the same time, closely monitor the baby’s condition and seek medical attention immediately if any abnormalities are observed. Daily precautions include ensuring the baby gets enough water, promotes digestion, and gets plenty of sunlight. Wishing the baby a quick recovery!
