Patient's question:
My friend's child is not yet one year old, but his jaundice is indeed very high. I heard from others that frequent sun exposure can help reduce jaundice to some extent. I'd like to ask if newborn jaundice requires exposing the abdomen to sunlight?Doctor's answer:
Children who are frequently exposed to sunlight can help reduce jaundice, but it should be noted that since children's skin is delicate, it is recommended not to expose them to strong sunlight during midday. It is okay to expose their abdomen to the sun, but try to keep it away from glass, as it can easily cause sunburn. If the symptoms are severe, you need to seek medical treatment. How high is your child's jaundice level? If it is severe, treatment is necessary.
