Babies born with jaundice, first confirm whether the jaundice belongs to physiological jaundice, or pathological jaundice, different jaundice treatment programs have great differences, as follows: 1, no special treatment is generally required: physiological jaundice appears 2-3 days after birth and can effectively subside in 7-10 days. Some premature infants may have jaundice that lasts longer and is often not combined with other clinical symptoms. If the jaundice is physiological, it does not require special treatment and can generally subside on its own, but if the jaundice is deeper, a doctor should examine and give symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis, choosing anti-yellowing drugs or light therapy. 2, treatment for the cause: pathological jaundice can take a long time, and the value of jaundice will be higher, and will also be combined with other clinical manifestations, including poor response, depression, anorexia, or even severe respiratory distress, alarm. In severe cases, respiratory distress, convulsions, increased muscle tone, etc. may occur. If the jaundice is pathologic, the cause should be identified and treated for congenital biliary failure, hemolysis, or other causes. The treatment plan is not only to address the cause, but also to give blood exchange, medication, light therapy, supportive therapy, etc. according to the appropriate plan.
