Patient's question:
Is every newborn baby jaundiced? The doctor told me how to get rid of jaundice quickly.Doctor's answer:
If you can see jaundice with the naked eye in a newborn, it is still necessary to perform a skin jaundice test or measure blood bilirubin levels to further clarify the situation. If the jaundice index exceeds 14, timely blue light treatment and oral medication should be administered to reduce jaundice and prevent it from worsening into kernicterus. If the child has breast milk jaundice, it is generally recommended to stop breastfeeding for a few days to see how the child responds.
