Question
When should babies drink glucose water in the pediatric department?
Answer
Condition Analysis: Newborns may experience physiological jaundice or ABO hemolytic jaundice. Drinking glucose water can promote bilirubin metabolism and alleviate jaundice. Guidance: Glucose water does not contain calcium, iron, and zinc. You may be referring to calcium gluconate or zinc gluconate. Currently, if you need to supplement calcium for the baby, it should be done under a doctor’s guidance by using vitamin AD. Drinking glucose water does not have the effect of supplementing calcium, zinc, and iron.
