Patient's question:
My child was just born, not even a few days yet. The doctor said the is a bit high. I'm a little worried about the being high affecting the child's health, but I don't have much experience. Some people say that it can be cured by getting more sunlight. What should I do if a newborn baby has high?Doctor's answer:
Newborns typically experience jaundice for 3-4 days within 1-2 days, reaching its peak, and it usually subsides within about a week. Jaundice can be treated by exposing the child to blue light or fluorescent light, but the child's eyes must be covered or treated daily. Sun exposure for half an hour can help dry it out, but try to avoid direct eye contact. In severe cases, oral Yinzhihuang can be given to the child, and some boiled water should be provided.
