Many newborns will have jaundice after birth. The so-called jaundice disease actually refers to abnormal bilirubin levels in newborns, resulting in yellow skin and varying degrees of organ weakness. Therefore, when parents see a newborn suffering from jaundice, they should provide timely treatment to help them recover their health. So, what should I do if I have neonatal jaundice 311 after cesarean section?
Newborns born by caesarean section suffer from jaundice 311, which belongs to pathological jaundice and requires special treatment. Generally, phototherapy is used, where newborns are placed in a phototherapy box and their eyes are covered with black eye masks to protect their eyes and prevent damage to retinal health. In addition, the perineum and anus of newborns should also be covered with diapers, and other areas should be exposed to ensure full coverage of light and promote the recovery of the newborn's condition.
Under illumination, use single-sided or double-sided light for two to three days until the bilirubin in the newborn's body drops to 7 milligrams per deciliter before stopping treatment, at which point the newborn's condition will recover. If the newborn's bilirubin is abnormally high, blood exchange therapy is required. This method is more suitable for newborns with hemolytic jaundice.
Most newborns have physiological jaundice. Newborns with physiological jaundice can excrete bilirubin from their bodies through urination, defecation, and other means, so parents should encourage them to drink more water to help their body metabolize. Normally, physiological jaundice in newborns will subside after one week.
