What should the baby's jaundice index be high?

Many newborns have jaundice after birth, which is also a concern of parents. In fact, there are two kinds of jaundice, physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. But no matter what causes jaundice, we should take timely treatment measures. So, what should I do if my baby's jaundice index is high?

What should the baby's jaundice index be high? Physiological jaundice will appear two to three days after birth and peak in four to six days. At this time, parents need not panic, and jaundice will disappear after two to three weeks. The normal value of neonatal jaundice in this case is between 2mg/dl- 12mg/dl. That is, when it exceeds 12mg/dl, or when the neonatal jaundice index rises too fast and rises more than 5mh/dl every day, the newborn may be morbid rational jaundice.

1, keep warm. Provide enough calories to reduce the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, correct acidosis and hypoglycemia in time, and avoid using drugs that cause hemolysis or inhibit the activity of liver enzymes (such as vitamin K and sulfanilamide).

2. If breast-feeding, consider breast-milk jaundice, mainly because breast milk is rich in β -glucuronidase and forms hydrolyzable bound bilirubin through active enterohepatic circulation. You can take your baby to the hospital for examination and ask the doctor if it is necessary to stop breastfeeding and switch to formula milk powder. During the suspension of breastfeeding, be sure to suck out the breast milk on time, and then you can breastfeed again after the baby fully recovers.

3. Phototherapy is a simple and easy method to reduce serum unconjugated bilirubin. Phototherapy converts bilirubin from fat-soluble to water-soluble by converting bilirubin into isomers, and excretes bilirubin through bile or urine without combining with liver. However, there are many factors that cause neonatal jaundice, so we should first determine the cause and then prescribe the right medicine.

What should I do if my baby's jaundice is too high? If your baby's jaundice is too high, you need to add boiled water appropriately. You can drink 30 ml of boiled water every morning and evening, which is conducive to removing jaundice in the body, regulating metabolism and reducing harm to the body.

If the baby's jaundice index is higher than the normal standard, it can be supplemented with glucose water with the help of a doctor, which will help improve the resistance and supplement enough energy and nutrition to feed the baby.

At around 10 in the morning, the weather is not too hot. You can go outdoors to bask in the sun, improve the absorption of calcium, enhance immunity and reduce the problem of high jaundice.

If none of these methods work, you can stop breastfeeding for two or three days and change milk powder to see if it works. Some babies have too high jaundice, which is an irritating ingredient in breast milk. After stopping breastfeeding, the jaundice index may decrease. If it doesn't work at all, you may need to go to the hospital for examination in time and choose relevant mild drugs to reduce the harm to your baby.
