During the neonatal period, the condition characterized by yellowish staining of the skin, mucous membranes and sclera due to abnormal bilirubin metabolism, which causes elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, is the most common clinical problem in newborns and is clinically referred to as neonatal jaundice. High bilirubin levels in the blood of a baby with jaundice are dangerous and can lead to brain damage in the most severe cases. What should I do if my newborn develops jaundice? A. How to retreat from physiological jaundice 1. If the child is in very good condition, full-term baby, eating milk and temperature are good, it is physiological jaundice, no treatment is needed to ensure adequate feeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding 8-12 times a day to promote active digestion and excretion of the baby, accelerate the bilirubin out of the body and reduce reabsorption back into the bloodstream. 2, do not sunbathe to recede: The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend allowing your baby to sunbathe more to accelerate the remission of jaundice. Because physiological jaundice is a normal phenomenon, the baby’s skin is very delicate, and deliberate sun exposure can easily cause damage to the baby’s skin. Second, how to retreat pathological jaundice: If it is pathological jaundice, ask your doctor to help treat it. 1, drug treatment: enzyme inducer: phenobarbital, side effects include drowsiness and slow sucking milk. 2, blue light therapy: blue light irradiation therapy is recognized as a safe treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. First, let the baby lie in the phototherapy box, cover both eyes and genital organs, the rest of the body is exposed, and then irradiate with blue light. Intermittent blue light irradiation is mostly used clinically, stopping after 4-8 hours of irradiation, while monitoring the bilirubin level until the bilirubin drops to within the normal range, and then deciding whether to stop the treatment according to the neonatal hourly bilirubin curve. 3.Intravenous infusion of albumin: to adsorb the bilirubin in the serum, and then excrete it out of the body. 4, blood exchange therapy: blood exchange is the most rapid and effective method of neonatal jaundice, but blood exchange requires high medical technology and is more expensive, and not every jaundiced baby is suitable for blood exchange therapy, and this therapy may also produce some adverse reactions, so this therapy is mainly used for babies with severe pathological jaundice.
