Patient's question:
My child was just born, and he has (jaundice) on his body. The elders in my family said that if a child has, it's good to expose them to more sunlight. I'm not sure if it's true, so I wanted to ask if it's helpful for newborns with to sunbathe indoors?Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborn jaundice can be treated with a blue light box for 12-24 hours, exposing the entire body. Without conditions or the ability to try fluorescent lights, but there is no way to sunbathe. Even if it is effective, newborns cannot be completely bare in the outdoors during this season to sunbathe to prevent a cold. If necessary, oral medication can also be given to the baby for treatment, which also has a certain therapeutic effect. Additionally, you can appropriately blacken the child's water, and frequent urination also helps to reduce jaundice.
