Question

After a newborn baby is born, if they show signs of discomfort for a period of time, and after searching online, one suspects it might be jaundice. What are the symptoms of neonatal jaundice?

Answer

The typical symptom of neonatal jaundice is the skin appearing yellow. If the baby shows discomfort, it is recommended to take them to a pediatrician for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. If diagnosed with jaundice, specialized jaundice-reducing medication should be administered to the baby. Additionally, since taking jaundice-reducing medication may cause diarrhea in infants, appropriate anti-diarrheal medication should also be provided.
