When a baby develops jaundice, parents become very anxious. Under normal circumstances, every baby will have jaundice after birth, with varying degrees of severity. If it is pathological jaundice, it can lead to a higher jaundice value that needs to be treated in a timely manner. So, what should we do if the jaundice in the baby is a bit high?
In cases of high levels of jaundice in infants, medication can be used for treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to take good care of the baby in daily life, take the baby out to bask in the sun, and stay hydrated in a timely manner. This will have a good effect on improving infant jaundice.
When a baby's jaundice level is high, parents must not take it lightly. If treatment is delayed, it can cause bilirubin and protein in the baby's body to enter the brain and bind together, resulting in significant damage to the baby's nervous system. Therefore, targeted treatment and adjustment are needed based on the baby's jaundice level.
Generally, babies have jaundice on the second day of birth. Around 5 to 7 days after birth, jaundice will reach its peak. After 7 to 10 days, the baby's liver gradually begins to work, and jaundice will gradually improve. Close observation during this period is sufficient. If the baby's jaundice has not disappeared after more than half a month, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. After being diagnosed with pathological jaundice, it can be treated through medication or blue light therapy.
