What to do about neonatal jaundice

Does it depend on the baby's specific age, a few days or 1 month?

How many milligrams of jaundice are measured? Is it just a yellow face, or is it yellow all over the body? Are the white eyeballs yellow?

These are all problems and are recommended to be described in detail.

In general, the most effective and rapid way to reduce yellowing in early neonatal jaundice is.

Blu-ray. Yellowing.

It is generally not recommended that parents feed their children drugs to reduce yellowing (first of all, they must be fully fed!). Allowing your baby to urinate and defecate in multiple rows can appropriately reduce the degree of jaundice. If the test rules out "G-6-PD deficiency", consider taking it.

Inyuki yellow oral liquid.

Yellowing**, but it should be noted that if the baby has diarrhea, the drug should be stopped immediately.

Jaundice in full-term infants can not exceed 1 week, jaundice in premature infants can not exceed 2 weeks, it is recommended to check liver function, blood routine, look at jaundice indicators, it is best to have no hemolysis, ** program is based on the cause of jaundice, of course, the common is neonatal physiological jaundice, breast milk can be stopped for 72 hours of observation, not according to blue light, oral bifidobacteria regulate intestinal flora, etc., traditional Chinese medicine can try Yin Yu Huang injection orally, the clinical effect is good, just suggested, the specific depends on your doctor in charge.

My daughter was born very similar to your baby. The jaundice on the face is very thick, we are afraid that there is a problem with the liver, but now the baby will have a blood test as soon as he is born, if the doctor does not notify you that there is a problem, then basically there is no problem with the liver. However, I still saw a doctor, and the doctor said that it didn't matter, and we speculated that it should be breast milk jaundice, because my daughter was breastfeeding.

In the case of breast milk jaundice, the jaundice will subside when the breast milk stops. Later, about 3 months after birth, my daughter's jaundice gradually faded. If I had diarrhea, my daughter was fine at that time, because she was breastfed, and she didn't have any gastrointestinal problems.

The small pimple on the face, during the confinement period, also grew a lot, it was eczema, the baby was easy to grow, but my daughter's not itchy, and I didn't see her scratch, the doctor said don't care, and then slowly he got better, and there was no scar. Some eczema will itch and the baby will be uncomfortable, so it is best to see a doctor.

Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice.

Physiological jaundice generally does not need to be **, so you can eat more and discharge more, and you can also take Shuhuangjian albumin probiotics to speed up excretion.

Pathological jaundice is severe, and light is required**, which is also combined with albumin probiotics to speed up excretion.

Neonatal jaundice refers to the abnormal metabolism of bilirubin in the neonatal period, which causes the level of bilirubin in the blood to rise, and the appearance of **, mucosal and scleral jaundice is the most common clinical problem in newborns. The disease is divided into physiological and pathological diseases. Physiological jaundice refers to temporary jaundice caused solely by bilirubin metabolism, which appears 2 3 days after birth, reaches a peak in 4 6 days, and subsides in 7 10 days.

If jaundice develops within 24 hours of life, serum bilirubin elevates more than 5 mg dl per day or hour; It lasts for a long time, and the jaundice does not subside for 2 weeks in full-term infants and 4 weeks in premature infants, and even continues to deepen, aggravate or recur after regression, or begin to appear within a week to several weeks after birth, all of which are pathological jaundice.

How old is your child? Is it just jaundice?

Suggestion: 1- Drink more water or glucose, or dilute the milk powder;

2- If it does not go back after another week, then go back to the pediatrician.

What should I do with neonatal jaundice?

Jaundice is a physiological phenomenon that will basically occur in newborn babies, it is mainly caused by the increase in bilirubin in the body.

1.Method 1: You must feed your child 30ml of boiled water every morning and evening, and drink an appropriate amount of water during the day, so that your child can get rid of jaundice in his body as soon as possible. If you are breastfeeding, it is fine, but if you are drinking formula, you should add water.

2.Method 2, drink glucose: When the newborn jaundice index is found to be high, give the child some glucose water, add glucose to the water, and feed the child to drink, which is an effective way to get rid of jaundice.

3.Method 3, bask in the sun: Every morning at about ten o'clock, when the sun is not very strong, give the child the sun, let the sun shine on the child's body, as long as you protect the baby's eyes, try to get the sun on the body, so that the effect will be good.

Precautions. Mothers should not worry about neonatal jaundice, because this is a normal physiological phenomenon, as long as the baby drinks more water, and the color of the baby's jaundice can be observed, which can generally be eliminated after half a month.

Neonatal jaundice needs to be treated according to the condition of the newborn, and the methods include general**, drug**, physical**, and other**.

If it is physiological jaundice in the newborn, it is generally in good condition and can resolve spontaneously without special **. Mothers should pay attention to adjusting feeding methods as needed, such as small, multiple, intermittent feeding, etc., to ensure milk intake.

Neonatal pathological jaundice should be performed under the guidance of a physician as follows**.

1.Drugs**: Drugs such as immunoglobulins, albumin, and liver enzyme inducers such as phenobarbital can be used**.

2.Physical**: light**, can be carried out using equipment such as phototherapy chambers and phototherapy lamps**, and changes in bilirubin levels should be closely monitored during phototherapy.

3.Other**: exchange transfusion**, generally using umbilical vein or other larger veins for exchange transfusion, suitable for hemolysis of severe neonates.

Jaundice is a common phenomenon in the early neonatal period, which should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor**, most children can be cured by standardized **, and the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

The home visit of the community health said: physiological jaundice, jaundice appeared 2-5 days after birth, eating, drinking and sleeping well, full-term babies subsided within 14 days, and premature infants subsided in 3-4 weeks. Doctor's and Community Health Home Visit Recommendations:

By increasing the amount and frequency of breastfeeding, your baby can eat more and have more bowel movements to help jaundice subside. You should also bask in the sun more, and you can't bask in the sun through the glass.

There are two types of pathological jaundice.

First, it occurs too early, serum bilirubin appears within 24 hours of birth, 205umol L for full-term infants, that is, 12mg DL, 257umol L for premature infants, that is, 15mg DL, do not hesitate to do this situation, immediately hospitalized in the hospital to take blue light, newborn babies sleep more, and do not have enough awareness of the external environment, and can receive light therapy quietly in the blue light box.

2. Jaundice lasts for too long, 2 weeks for full-term infants and 4 weeks for premature infants, and the jaundice does not go away, or repeats.

If the index of neonatal jaundice is relatively high, then it is recommended to go to the ninth hospital to take blue light, if you don't believe in the West, you can go to Chinese medicine for conditioning, but it is best to be under the guidance of a doctor.

If it is found that the child is yellow and dyed in the Mausoleum, parents should first take the child to the hospital and ask the doctor to help confirm the child's condition. Because a large proportion of neonatal jaundice may be physiological jaundice, although it seems that the child is relatively yellow, it is actually a reasonable or physiological one, and does not need special treatment, just observe and wait for the sweet potato to subside on its own.

If the child is found to be pathological jaundice after being examined by the doctor, the younger the child, the more active the relevant treatment. Because the younger the child, the less sound the blood-brain barrier is, jaundice is more likely to enter the brain, causing damage to the nervous system of the child, some of which are irreversible, and even leave sequelae.

So for the younger the child, the more actively we have to check and **. The safest and most effective way to treat jaundice is with blue light exposure. Therefore, the younger the child finds that the higher the jaundice, the more active he should be in doing blue light**.

In addition, it is necessary to ask the doctor to confirm the cause of jaundice, and to control the original disease, so as to completely cause the child's jaundice to subside.

Neonatal jaundice first depends on whether it is pathological jaundice or physiological jaundice, if it appears from about three days of birth and slowly disappears at 14 days, it is physiological jaundice, and it is generally ignored in the case of irritation. If it is pathological jaundice, that is, the jaundice does not subside after 14 days of birth, and the jaundice value is more than 15 mg per deciliter of the super tung core stockings, and the baby has poor spirit and emotional restlessness, you can go to the hospital under the advice of the doctor, let the child bask in the sun, drink more water, excrete more widely, and choose to shine on blue light.

Measures for neonatal jaundice include general, phototherapy, exchange transfusion, and drugs.

1. General**. Physiological jaundice of newborns generally does not need special **, let the baby bask in the sun, there are different wavelengths of light in the sun, after irradiation, the bilirubin on the surface can be converted, and it is easy to be excreted with urine after conversion; Drinking plenty of water can promote the body's metabolism and speed up the excretion of bilirubin, and jaundice can basically subside on its own after a period of time.

2. Phototherapy. Including narrow single-sided light**, double-sided light**, blanket fiber jaundice**, etc., phototherapy mostly uses blue light with a wavelength between 425 and 475nm, and unconjugated bilirubin oxidizes into a water-soluble substance under the action of light and oxygen, which is excreted with urine, thereby reducing the concentration of unconjugated bilirubin in the serum and achieving the purpose of jaundice.

3. Exchange transfusion**. The child's blood is drawn from the arterial end and the normal blood is transfused synchronously and equally from the venous end. It can replace sensitized red blood cells and a large amount of bilirubin in the child's body, so as to reduce hemolysis, improve bilirubin encephalopathy and correct anemia, and is suitable for children with severe neonatal hemolysis and bilirubin encephalopathy.

4. Drugs**. The most important drugs for neonatal jaundice mainly include immunoglobulin, albumin, phenobarbital, etc.

In addition to the above, there are the following aspects to be aware of.

Children with neonatal jaundice should be cared for at home. Feed more milk and water, promote the baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis, urinate and defecate more, and accelerate the metabolism of bilirubin; Clothes and bedding should be kept clean, washed and changed frequently to avoid infection of the baby; Spend more time in the sun, avoid direct sunlight on your baby's eyes, supplement vitamin D, and enhance resistance.

Nursing neonatal jaundice should pay attention to the condition monitoring, parents should observe the degree of neonatal jaundice under sufficient light, whether there is urine yellow staining or whether the stool color becomes lighter, observe the mental state of the child, if there is poor spirit, refusal of milk, reduced activity, should seek medical attention in time. Physiological jaundice generally does not need to be re-examined after it has resolved, and pathological jaundice needs to be re-examined according to the doctor's instructions.

Pathologic jaundice can be caused by a variety of causes, such as hemolysis of the ABO, malformations of the biliary system, and bacterial infection.
