Patient's question:
My baby is just a newborn. Isn't it common for babies to have jaundice? I don't really know what jaundice is. Then my mother-in-law said my son's skin is yellow and mentioned it could be jaundice. I got a bit worried, so I came to consult the doctor about the symptoms of jaundice in newborns.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. The symptoms of jaundice in newborns are typically yellow skin. If the condition is severe, the children's eyes may also turn yellow. It is recommended that if children have jaundice, they should go to the hospital for a check-up. If the jaundice level exceeds the normal range, medication or blue light therapy can be considered, both of which are quite effective. Make sure to let your child get plenty of sunlight and also ensure they drink enough water.
