Patient's question:
My baby just arrived, and my baby had neonatal jaundice after birth. How should I observe jaundice at home?Doctor's answer:
At home, we need to observe and measure more. If the child discovers jaundice after 3 days, parents can observe the newborn's skin jaundice level under natural light with the naked eye. If only the face is jaundiced and it is mild jaundice, it can be continued to be observed at home. If jaundice is found on the trunk skin, it is moderate jaundice. If jaundice also appears on the limbs, hands, feet, and heart, it is severe jaundice. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination.
