Question
What should be done if a newborn has jaundice within a few days after birth?
Answer
It is important to carefully observe the jaundice condition. If it is not severe, oral medication can be taken while closely monitoring. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary, and the doctor will conduct a thorough examination. Generally, normal jaundice will subside within about a month, so there is no need to worry excessively. Maintain a cheerful mood, ensure adequate rest, and have a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which are beneficial for both you and the baby’s health.
