Patient's question:
My child was a bit yellow at birth, with a yellowish complexion and body. The doctor said it was physiological and not a major issue, but some people say jaundice can lead to cerebral palsy in children, which scares me. Please ask: If a newborn has jaundice and is seven days old, do they need to be exposed to blue light?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described: It is normal for a baby to have jaundice, but it needs to be determined whether it is physiological or pathological. Advice: It is recommended that you relax and do not get too anxious. Take the baby to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible. If it is physiological, there is no need to worry about it. If it is pathological, treatment must be administered. For the patient, if the neonatal jaundice condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be given. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of neonatal jaundice. In addition, the patient should also pay attention to their own diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
