Patient's question:
I noticed that my baby has jaundice, and it's mainly on the upper body, especially the face. I want to know what should be done for jaundice like this? Is hospitalization necessary?Doctor's answer:
Newborns experiencing jaundice is a normal phenomenon because many metabolic processes in the womb are not interfered with by the mother. Therefore, it is recommended to have a jaundice check-up at the hospital to see the severity of the jaundice. If it persists for more than 15 days, hospitalization and blue light treatment may be necessary. If it is above 15, you can take many yellow medicine to eliminate jaundice.The above is advice on this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
