What are the contents of jaundice care

Jaundice is a relatively common disease in children, and if this disease is treated promptly, the child will recover as soon as possible. Therefore, parents must always observe their children's symptoms. When they feel that their children have jaundice, they must treat them in time to make the children recover as soon as possible. So, what does jaundice care involve? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

1. Let the baby's meconium be discharged as soon as possible: In the early stage, we must feed the newborn as early as possible to discharge the meconium as soon as possible, because the meconium contains a lot of bilirubin. If the meconium is not discharged cleanly, the bilirubin will be reabsorbed into the blood through the special enterohepatic circulation of the newborn, causing an increase in jaundice. How to tell whether the meconium is completely excreted? The main thing is to see if the meconium changes from black to yellow, which means it is completely excreted.

2. Give the newborn enough water: The way to judge whether the newborn's fluid intake is sufficient is to look at the newborn's urine. Generally, a normal newborn urinates 6-8 times a day. If the number is less than that, it is possible that his fluid intake is insufficient. Too little urination is not conducive to the excretion of bilirubin. We should ensure the fluid intake of newborns. Generally, the meconium of newborns should be discharged within 2-3 days, which can reduce the degree of jaundice.

3. Pay attention to observe: the systemic symptoms of babies with fetal jaundice, such as lethargy, drowsiness, difficulty sucking, restlessness, staring eyes, limb rigidity or convulsions, etc., so as to detect and treat seriously ill children early. Closely monitor heart rate, heart sounds, anemia level, and changes in liver size to prevent and treat heart failure at an early stage.

4. Pay attention to cleanliness: Keep the baby's skin, navel and buttocks clean to prevent damage and infection. When blood exchange therapy is needed, the ward air should be disinfected in time, blood and various medicines and items should be prepared, and the operating procedures should be strictly followed.
