Question
The newborn is 17 days old and has an elevated bilirubin level, reaching 295.7, and the baby is constantly crying. Is this a complication caused by jaundice?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo hospital-based blue light therapy treatment, as intervention treatment should be considered when the bilirubin level reaches 12.5 mg/dl. Oral administration of Yinzhihuang oral liquid or using Bifidobacterium triple viable powder to adjust the intestinal flora can be considered. In the long term, high bilirubin levels may bind with brain nerves, causing complications. These are the suggestions for this question, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
