How to prevent and treat baby jaundice

1. If the expectant mother has a history of hepatitis or has given birth to a baby with pathological jaundice, she should undergo relevant tests before delivery and take preventive medication measures.

2. If the couple's blood types are incompatible or the mother has RH negative blood, regular serological and amniotic fluid tests should be performed, and the baby should be delivered under close supervision.

3. Ensure your baby is fed adequately 8-12 times a day.

Pathological jaundice:

It is necessary to seek medical attention promptly, and professional medical workers should treat the baby according to his condition. Mothers should not handle it on their own to avoid delaying the condition and endangering the baby's health.

Physiological jaundice:

1. Jaundice can be cured by sunlight exposure

If the baby's jaundice level is not high, jaundice can be reduced through sunlight exposure.

2. You can reduce jaundice by drinking glucose water

If the baby's jaundice value is not very high, approximately below 10 (based on the jaundice value of Jinan Maternal and Child Health Hospital), jaundice can be reduced by feeding the baby glucose water.

3. You can reduce jaundice by taking anti-jaundice drugs

If the baby's jaundice value is around 12, you can also take anti-jaundice drugs, such as Yinweihuang

It is recommended to take Yinweihuang oral liquid, which is easy to take. One bottle of oral liquid a day, divided into three doses, about one box (6 bottles), the jaundice is basically gone.

4. Jaundice can be cured by irradiating blue light

If the baby's jaundice level is relatively high, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment and reduce jaundice through blue light treatment.

When exposed to blue light, the baby's eyes and genitals need to be shielded to avoid being affected.

Pathological jaundice:

If the baby has pathological jaundice, he needs to see a doctor and use a variety of methods to reduce jaundice.

In addition, there is a condition called breast milk jaundice.

This is a type of physiological jaundice. Its characteristic is that the effect of the physiological jaundice treatment is not obvious and the baby has been breastfeeding, so it is necessary to consider breast milk jaundice. If this is the case, breastfeeding should be stopped and replaced with formula milk, while feeding Yinweihuang oral liquid. The jaundice can be relieved in three to four days. After the jaundice is successfully relieved, breastfeeding can be resumed. During the three or four days of jaundice relief, breast milk can be sucked out with a breast pump to avoid milk regurgitation due to long-term non-feeding.
