Patient's question:
A child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask how to treat jaundice in a one-month-old baby.Doctor's answer:
Hello, jaundice is recommended to check if it is caused by hemolysis in the infant's liver function, and treat it in a timely manner. Blue light therapy can be used. Your condition may be physiological jaundice. In mild cases, it appears light yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the trunk, and the sclera may also turn yellow. It usually disappears 2 to 3 days later, and the skin color returns to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice can also start from the head and spread to the feet, affecting the entire body. Vomiting and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow, and the duration can last for more than a week. In some premature infants, it may persist for up to 4 weeks, with yellow feces and no bilirubin in the urine. It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
