Question
What methods are there to remove neonatal jaundice in pediatrics?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice can be caused by congenital hemolytic anemia (such as thalassemia, hereditary spherocytosis) or acquired hemolytic anemia (such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, neonatal hemolytic disease, hemolysis after blood transfusion with incompatible blood types, and ingestion of soybeans, primaquine, snake venom, toxic mushrooms, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, etc.). For the treatment of this condition, the primary approach is to treat the underlying disease, eliminate the cause, and consider hormone therapy. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek hospitalization for systemic treatment. Lastly, wishing for your child’s speedy recovery.
