Question
How can you determine if a baby’s jaundice is too high?
Answer
The normal jaundice index for a baby should be less than 10. If the index is elevated, it is recommended to administer jaundice-reducing medication and consider hepatitis B vaccination. Additionally, exposing the baby to sunlight daily can help lower the jaundice index, and it is suggested to re-measure after a few days. According to the description, it may be related to calcium deficiency, and it is recommended to take traditional Chinese medicine like Longmu Zhuanggu Chongji, and increase nutritional supplementation with vitamins and trace elements, as well as consume easily digestible foods while avoiding adverse stimulation.
