Patient's question:
19 weeks pregnant, I didn't know what would happen, but later found out I was sick. Please ask: What is newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is the first issue most babies face after birth. Some newborns may experience a recurrence of skin yellowing within the first week of birth, which is caused by the deposition of bilirubin in the skin. This medical condition is known as neonatal jaundice. If it is physiological, it usually fades within one month. If it persists beyond one month, it may be pathological jaundice. It is advisable to consult a doctor, and if necessary, blue light treatment may be required.
