When a child is just born, there will be some problems. In fact, there will be many problems with the child's health. Among them, the symptoms of jaundice are very common problems, and they also have a more or less impact on the child's health. These problems should be How to deal with it? How much do you know about infant jaundice? Let's take a look with me below.

What should I do with high neonatal jaundice? This is the first thing we need to know about the correct normal value, and we also need to understand the reason. The highest jaundice index can reach 51.3 μmol/L, normal neonates should be less than 171-205 μmol/L 4 days after birth, and preterm infants should be less than 256.5 μmol/L 4 days after birth , once it is higher than this amount, it means that the jaundice is high, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause a series of more serious complications such as kernicterus.

So what to do when the newborn's jaundice index is relatively high?
First, take probiotics. This is to improve the health of the child and to improve the jaundice problem. In fact, the principle of probiotics to reduce the jaundice index of newborns is the same as drinking warm water. Peristalsis, accelerate the excretion of bilirubin to achieve therapeutic effect. In addition, probiotics are effective in preventing and treating intestinal problems such as diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, and flatulence. Probiotics contain live bacteria that are beneficial to the gut including Enterococcus faecalis R-026 and Bacillus subtilis R-179, which have various effects such as inhibiting harmful pathogenic bacteria, maintaining intestinal microecological balance, and enhancing intestinal immunity. Reduce the production and absorption of gut-derived toxins, treat intestinal infections, and protect intestinal health.
Second, phototherapy. It is also very important to do these improvements well, that is, the blue light that we are familiar with, phototherapy is currently the preferred method for the treatment of neonatal jaundice, which is relatively safe and effective. But it needs to be reminded that you must do eye protection when taking blue light, otherwise it will cause damage to your baby's eyes.

Third, drink plenty of warm water. Drinking more warm water is good for the recovery of the child's body and can also improve the jaundice. The reason why warm water can effectively reduce the jaundice index is because water participates in most of the chemical reaction processes of the human body. Just imagine that the chemical reactions involved in intestinal absorption also require the participation of water. Once the water is adequately replenished, the peristalsis of the intestines is accelerated, which means that the excess bilirubin can be effectively excreted through the detoxification process of the intestines.

How to care for a newborn with jaundice?
1. Stop breastfeeding. Pay attention to the feeding situation during the period and observe it first. If the above methods are ineffective, stop breastfeeding for 2-3 days, because the cause of high jaundice may be breast milk, so after stopping breastfeeding, the jaundice index will decrease.
2. Drink plain water. Drinking plenty of water is good for your child's health recovery, and you can try to avoid related hazards. Feed the child 30 ml of boiled water every morning and evening, and drink an appropriate amount of water during the day, so that the child can expel the jaundice from the body as soon as possible. If your baby is breastfed, that's fine, but if your baby is on formula, you should give your baby plenty of water.
3. Drink glucose. Prevent the initial symptoms of the child and try to avoid these problems. When you find that the neonatal jaundice index is high, give the child some glucose water, pour the glucose into the water, and feed the child to drink. Effective method for jaundice.
4. Sunlight. To keep enough sunlight, we must do these improvement and prevention work. Every morning around 10 o'clock, let the child bask in the sun when the sun is not very strong, and try to bask the child's skin, but not the eyes .
The above is the introduction of neonatal jaundice. If you want to improve and prevent it, you must do these nursing work in peacetime. If you do these preventive measures for the value of jaundice in children, you can avoid the harm as much as possible. If the jaundice index does not go away for a long time, you must actively do these improvement work, which is very beneficial to the improvement of the body. Pay attention to the normal value of neonatal jaundice.
