Question
The baby has been born for 28 days, and the parents have noticed that the baby’s skin seems to have a slight jaundice tint, but the family says there has been no such situation, and no jaundice test has been conducted. The baby does not show signs of drowsiness, and the parents want to know how to determine if the baby has jaundice.
Answer
If a newborn shows signs of jaundice, it can be observed visually by checking if the skin appears yellow. If parents are unsure, it is recommended to visit a hospital where doctors can measure the transcutaneous bilirubin index using professional equipment. Mild jaundice may require oral jaundice-reducing medication, but the most accurate diagnosis still needs to be confirmed through blood tests.
