Question
I have recently learned about neonatal jaundice, but since my child is about to be born, I particularly hope to further understand which areas neonatal jaundice mainly affects?
Answer
Hello, the common areas affected by neonatal jaundice include the entire eyelid skin, which is a widespread phenomenon in our country. Laboratory tests show that there is a significant obstacle in bilirubin metabolism, and there are significant differences in the multiples of bilirubin elevation. After 3 to 5 weeks of active treatment, most children can recover to normal, while some children may need a longer time. It is recommended to appropriately supplement the child with water and perform sunbathing to promote the effectiveness of treatment.
