Some time ago, a daughter who was just born 6 days ago in Zhejiang Province, due to infection accompanied by neonatal jaundice, severe brain damage, and ultimately failed to save her life. Neonatal jaundice is a very common phenomenon, it is reported that about 50-60% of full-term babies and 80% of preterm babies will appear jaundice. Although common, improper care can be fatal to babies. Jaundice is a condition in which the bilirubin in the baby’s blood is very high, causing the baby’s skin to turn yellow. The more common types of neonatal jaundice are physiologic jaundice and pathologic jaundice. (Mild) Physiological jaundice: Jaundice usually appears gradually after 2-3 days of birth, slowly worsens, and reaches its peak in 4-7 days, after which it gradually subsides automatically without any other adverse effects. (More serious) Pathological jaundice: Jaundice appears within 24 hours after birth. Jaundice continues to persist or even deepens 2-3 weeks after birth. It may cause permanent sequelae. Such as: mental retardation, hearing impairment, deafness, cerebral palsy and so on. The baby has jaundice, the mother must not listen to some heard that the effect of jaundice is very good “local methods” to the baby to reduce jaundice, these jaundice treatment method there are misunderstandings, on the baby jaundice recovery and not beneficial. Jaundice treatment common misunderstanding, parents want to avoid one, use Yin gardenia yellow to baby back yellow In the international newborn baby science field, there is no use Yin gardenia to lower jaundice scientific evidence; And Yin gardenia yellow also has no exact can reduce bilirubin to achieve the role of jaundice of the description. In addition, ZhangSiLai physician also advise parents not to use YinGiHuang oral liquid to child to reduce jaundice, the reason has the following points: 1, affects the newborn’s digestive tract function, appears nausea, vomits, diarrhea and so on the adverse reaction; 2, is easy to prompt the intestinal micro ecological balance disorder; 3, its drug description puts forward: the adverse reaction is still not clear, the drug contraindications are still not clear; 4, the YinGiHuang injection once caused 1 newborn to die, more than infants have the adverse reaction; 5, the YinGiHuang injection once caused 1 newborn to die, more than infants have the adverse reaction. More than infants have adverse reaction; 5, easy to induce the baby of serotonin disease onset. Second, feed more water and glucose water, more urination can back yellow in the United States pediatrics guide above has clearly pointed out, feed water, drink glucose is very not recommended, his disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Because: 1, bilirubin in the body is mainly discharged through the stool, discharged through the urine is very little; 2, drink more water and glucose water will lead to the baby to eat less milk, so that the bilirubin discharged through the stool is reduced, but is not conducive to the jaundice subsides. Third, the sun will be able to reduce the yellow, without other treatments The sun directly irradiated to help reduce the yellow, but the effect is not ideal, because: 1, the amount of blue wavelengths of light in daylight is limited; 2, it is difficult to do at home to bare a large area of skin to receive daylight; 3, easy to cause ultraviolet radiation burns and cold cold, so it is not recommended to use this “native method”! “Jaundice.
