Question
Is it necessary to undergo full-trust treatment if a baby’s jaundice index is elevated?
Answer
An elevated jaundice index in babies may indicate physiological jaundice, with mild jaundice typically subsiding on its own within a few days. Severe jaundice may require blue light therapy. In the case of premature babies, the duration of jaundice may be longer, but the stool color and cerebrospinal fluid should not contain bilirubin. It is recommended to consult a doctor and consider blue light therapy.
