Faced with jaundice in newborn babies, many families feel helpless and do not know how to take care of them. Especially for some infants with severe jaundice, high jaundice indicators can cause parents to be particularly afraid and worried. So, what should we do if a newborn baby has high jaundice?
1. If a newborn baby has a high jaundice value, it is highly likely to have pathological jaundice. Necessary further examinations should be conducted. After determining pathological jaundice, most cases require medication conditioning treatment, and jaundice should be treated according to the medication prescribed by the doctor.
2. For some infants, in addition to medication treatment, blue light baths are also needed to treat jaundice, usually for about 7 hours each time. Moreover, during blue light therapy, it is necessary to take good protective measures for the baby's eye area to avoid damage to the retina caused by blue light.
3. For the post treatment of infants with jaundice, it is also necessary to take the baby outdoors and expose them to more sunlight when the weather is clear. This will be helpful for the recovery of jaundice in the later stage, but attention should be paid to avoiding direct sunlight on the baby's eyes.
4. If medication is used to reduce jaundice, it is necessary to increase the amount of water given to the baby in moderation to accelerate fluid circulation and promote the drug to take effect as soon as possible. This can also increase urine output, which can help to eliminate toxic substances from the body as soon as possible.
