Question
Hello, why can’t babies with jaundice wear yellow clothing? Does wearing yellow or red clothing make the baby’s jaundice worse?
Answer
That is fine because exposure to sunlight can only improve, but not cure pathological jaundice. There is no need to remove clothing if exposed to sunlight. Jaundice occurs due to an excessive level of bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice is categorized into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice generally resolves on its own, while pathological jaundice includes hemolytic jaundice, hepatocellular jaundice, and obstructive jaundice. It is very necessary to find the primary cause of these symptoms and receive targeted treatment at a hospital.
