Patient's question:
When the baby was just born, the doctor said the baby had neonatal jaundice, which made me very worried about her yellow complexion. What could be the cause of it?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is a common condition among most infants, but it may resolve on its own in some cases. This phenomenon is known as physiological jaundice and is not a problem. If it is pathological jaundice, it may be caused by blood type incompatibility between mother and baby, viral infections, or liver and biliary diseases. Antijaundice drugs have a significant effect on jaundice. Hospitalization and treatment are necessary, with blue light therapy combined with medication.
