Patient's question:
Today I took my baby to sunbathe for the whole day, and he slept in my arms for 1 to 2 hours. His face and ears were red and hot from the sun. Later, I moved to a different spot because it was cold and took off my clothes to dress him. That night, he said he wasn't feeling well, had a stomachache, felt dizzy, and I measured his temperature at 37.5 degrees. He didn't eat dinner and went to sleep, crying a lot.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No matter what kind of assistance was provided:
Hello, what's wrong with him? Did he get hot, then cold, and develop a fever, or was he sunburned from staying out in the sun for too long?
Doctor's answer:
1. Sunlight helps jaundice fade quickly for babies with mild jaundice. For those with less severe jaundice, spending more time in the sun can also help reduce it.2. Enhances metabolism and growth and development. Infrared rays from sunlight can dilate skin blood vessels, while ultraviolet rays have antibacterial effects. Appropriately exposing the baby to sunlight can boost metabolism and growth and development, prevent rickets and anemia, and strengthen the body's disease resistance.
3. Obtains sufficient vitamin D. Sunlight helps the body absorb vitamin D, which is also the primary source of vitamin D for humans.
