Patient's question:
How to prevent jaundice in children during pregnancy, the first child had high jaundice, transferred to another hospital for treatment. Now the second child is particularly tight, will the jaundice be high, how to prevent it? Please ask how to avoid jaundice in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal jaundice refers to a disease where an infant's skin, mucous membranes, and sclera appear yellow due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood, caused by incomplete liver function and abnormal bilirubin metabolism, leading to the deposition of bilirubin in the skin. This condition is very common in newborns. Approximately 85% of full-term infants and the vast majority of preterm infants develop jaundice within the first week of birth. It is recommended not to be too anxious, as jaundice is not something to be afraid of. Seek medical attention promptly, and active treatment will lead to improvement.
