Patient's question:
The child in my sister's family has only been born for four days, and she always feels that the baby's complexion is a bit yellow. So, she went to the doctor to test for jaundice and found that the child has jaundice. She wants to know what to do about jaundice in newborns.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is a normal phenomenon, mainly divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice does not require treatment. It will naturally subside within one week. If you feel it is severe, you can give your baby some glucose. Pathological jaundice must be treated with blue light. Generally, physiological jaundice often appears three to four days after birth and usually subsides on its own within about a week, without the need for medication. If it is pathological jaundice, blue light treatment can be used.
