Patient's question:
Baby started showing yellow skin and yellow sclera on the third day, slept well, was breastfed, and had normal bowel and bladder movements. How is newborn jaundice treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Since jaundice is clearly identified, it depends on the severity. Other tests should be conducted according to the doctor's advice for treatment and follow-up. Oral antijaundice drugs, exposure to sunlight, and blue light plasma exchange are the main effective treatments. Rest should be paid attention to, and regular measurements should be taken. Jaundice is still very common in children. Therefore, it is important to avoid excessive anxiety. Recovery is usually possible within about 1 to 2 weeks. It is recommended to observe whether appetite and bowel movements are normal. It is best to eat as much as possible without worrying.
