Question
A newborn has exceeded half a month since birth, and there is a slight jaundice appearance on their face, especially around the nose and eyes. The family is worried about this and has taken the child to the hospital for examination. The doctor diagnosed that the jaundice index is slightly high but said there is no major concern. The family is still uneasy about the situation, worried about the impact on the child’s health.
Answer
For newborns with mild jaundice, it is recommended to first alleviate symptoms by increasing fluid intake and closely monitor the changes in jaundice. If symptoms do not improve, further examination should be conducted to determine the cause, and combined with active symptomatic treatment. At the same time, let the baby get more sunlight to observe changes in the condition. Families should maintain vigilance and seek professional medical assistance when necessary to ensure the child’s health.
