Patient's question:
My baby's jaundice level was high right after birth. Both his hands and skin were yellow. How can jaundice in children be reduced quickly?Doctor's answer:
Most newborns exhibit symptoms of jaundice after birth, which is caused by the deposition of bilirubin in the skin. There is no quick way to eliminate it, and it usually subsides within about a week. If it persists for an extended period or recurs after fading, it may be considered pathological jaundice, requiring timely follow-up treatment. Patients should develop a routine lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with regular aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
