How much glucose to drink at a time for children with jaundice

Children with jaundice can drink 10-20mL of glucose at a time. Pediatric jaundice is a symptom of skin jaundice caused by an increase in the concentration of bilirubin in the blood. Glucose given orally in this case can accelerate the excretion of bilirubin in the intestine and help to reduce jaundice. Under normal circumstances, babies can have physiological jaundice within 7-10 days of birth, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not need to be treated. If the jaundice exceeds 12.9 mg/dL or more, hyperbilirubinemia can be considered, and appropriate symptomatic treatment should be given. According to the reference standard of the hourly bilirubin graph, blue light irradiation treatment can be given if necessary, and blue light irradiation is effective in the treatment of jaundice in babies, with fast regression and few side effects. If the standard of phototherapy is not met, oral probiotics can be given. Of course, jaundice can also be caused by other reasons such as infection. If the child still has jaundice after the physiological jaundice period, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
