How to treat high bilirubin levels in infants?
Answer
High bilirubin levels in infants reappear three days after birth, and although the jaundice was not severe at the time of discharge at 7 days, it persisted at home. At 20 days, the child was given Yin Chen Huang Huang mixture by the hospital, which was consumed for 5 days and resulted in a significant decrease in jaundice. However, there was still… The best way to treat jaundice is through short (about an hour) multiple sessions of sun exposure combined with a little medication, which generally resolves within a week. But in winter, sun exposure is not feasible, so relying solely on medication to treat jaundice is slow, and parents may see improvement but it’s not fully resolved, which is cannot bear to. This time, the focus was on drinking the medicine, which is relatively inexpensive. If hospital treatment with blue light therapy is required, it can be quite costly, amounting to several thousand yuan. The doctor’s prescribed medication has been finished, and now a few more tests at the hospital are needed to ensure that the bilirubin is completely cleared.
