Question
How long do I need to take medication for infant pathological jaundice? Lately, my boss has said I’m not feeling well, which is affecting my work performance. In fact, I don’t want it either. I can’t sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. I’m worried that if it gets serious, it will affect my health and work.
Answer
Hello, according to your description, the first step in treatment is to clarify the cause of the jaundice and take targeted measures. Treatments can include phenobarbital enzyme inducers, prednisone, dexamethasone, and other corticosteroids. However, these drugs have certain side effects, and the dosage should be controlled according to the severity of the jaundice. After the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression ,and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a reasonable diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
