Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if jaundice will recur after being exposed to blue light.Doctor's answer:
Most newborns develop a yellowish discoloration of the skin, white eyes, and oral mucosa 2 to 3 days after birth, ranging from mild to severe. It is usually more noticeable on the face and chest but not on the palms and soles. When jaundice occurs, the child does not feel uncomfortable, and the stool is not white, nor is the urine excessively yellow. Physiological jaundice in newborns does not require treatment and usually disappears within about a week. Although physiological jaundice is a normal phenomenon in newborns, parents should also pay close attention. If the jaundice appears earlier, is more severe, or does not subside quickly, it may be pathological jaundice. There are many causes of pathological jaundice, and it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
