Question

At 17 weeks, I wasn’t sure what the situation would be, but later found out that the baby was sick. Please ask: What should I do when the baby experiences increased jaundice?

Answer

Observation is key. First, observe the baby’s general condition, such as feeding status, whether urination and defecation are normal, the volume of crying, and reaction; second, pay attention to the degree of skin yellowness, whether the whites of the eyes are yellow, and whether the palms of the hands and soles of the feet are yellow. If you are not sure or the symptoms worsen, it is recommended to go to the hospital and make an appointment with the pediatric department for examination.
