Patient's question:
Because many babies have jaundice at birth, I also want to take my child for a check-up. Currently, the child has not shown any of these symptoms. I would like to ask what tests are needed if you want to check for jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, the most common method for checking newborn jaundice is to use a transcutaneous bilirubinometer for detection. In addition to the specific value of blood bilirubin, specific testing can involve taking the baby to a local hospital for consultation and following the local doctor's instructions. At the same time, you can also observe whether the child's skin is yellow. If the jaundice is significant, it is sufficient to consider it. It is also recommended to give the child appropriate amounts of water and sunlight to help treat jaundice.
