Patient's question:
Baby was born a few days ago and the skin is a bit yellow, the doctor said it's jaundice. How should pediatric jaundice be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of infant jaundice depends on the severity of the condition. When the situation is severe, the first-line treatment is to undergo blue light therapy. If the blue light therapy is controllable, further observation can be continued. For more severe jaundice, further treatments such as the use of plasma or even blood transfusion may be required. During jaundice treatment, proper skin care for the child should be ensured to maintain skin moisture and avoid excessive dryness.
