Patient's question:
It is said that newborns are very prone to jaundice. My baby was born after only one week, and I was extremely excited to be a dad for the first time. How can I prevent newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, sun exposure is the best way to alleviate jaundice. Try to let the sun shine on the affected skin of the child. Pregnant women should also get more sun exposure during pregnancy. Parents can give their babies more glucose to drink, which can also help alleviate jaundice because water can help excrete bilirubin from the body, thereby forcing jaundice to decrease. Every morning and evening, you should also give the child 30ml of plain water to encourage the body to expel jaundice as soon as possible. Newborns should pay attention to preventing early breastfeeding.
