Question
What treatment methods are available when a neonate develops jaundice?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice is a common occurrence, which can be categorized into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice is typically observable after birth and usually resolves on its own. If it is pathological jaundice, the color of the jaundice becomes more intense, and the bilirubin level rises, necessitating active treatment. It is advised for parents to closely monitor their newborn’s jaundice changes and regularly check the bilirubin levels. In case of any concerns, it is important to consult a doctor promptly to receive appropriate treatment and guidance.
