Question
My baby is one month old and has been showing symptoms of neonatal jaundice for a while. What should I do?
Answer
It is advised to practice proper care, adequate feeding, and timely medication, following the doctor’s orders based on the condition. Sufficient care, regular work and rest , attention to warmth, light diet, frequent ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water can aid in recovery. If jaundice persists or worsens, consider pathological jaundice, which may require blue light therapy or oral symptomatic medication. Patients should visit a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to receive treatment tailored to the cause.
