What is neonatal jaundice?

If the child's jaundice is severe and meets the standard of phototherapy, phototherapy is a very good measure to help the child reduce yellowing, which can quickly reduce the child's jaundice. The duration of phototherapy is mainly determined according to the severity of jaundice, if the jaundice is not so severe, for example, the child's jaundice is less than 18mg per minute, then it can be phototherapy for eight to ten hours. If your child's jaundice is particularly high, or even likely to cause bilirubin encephalopathy, you can continue to give your child phototherapy to reduce yellowing. The effect is quite good, and it can quickly reduce the bilirubin in the child's body. If the child's jaundice is extremely elevated, or even the child has already developed the early manifestations of bilirubin encephalopathy, this time can not wait, and exchange transfusion is required. The child's jaundice will resolve very quickly after exchange transfusion, which is a very effective treatment for severe jaundice.
