Patient's question:
My newborn baby at home has a very yellow complexion. Is there any illness? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child is likely to have neonatal jaundice, which is divided into physiological jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia, and pathological jaundice. I don't know if the baby is premature or full-term. Common causes of pediatric jaundice include various infections, liver and biliary diseases, biliary malformations, breast milk jaundice, hemolytic disease, and so on. For this condition, the most important thing is to actively identify the cause and treat the underlying condition. Symptomatic treatment primarily involves medication and blue light therapy.
