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 sun exposure on the abdomen?Doctor's answer:
Children who are frequently exposed to sunlight can 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 sunlight, but it is best to keep it separate from glass, as it is very easy to get sunburned. If the symptoms are severe, you need to seek medical treatment. How high is the jaundice level of your child? If it is severe, treatment is necessary.
