Question
Is newborn jaundice bath therapy effective?
Answer
Almost every newborn exhibits jaundice symptoms after birth, which typically fade within a week. Regardless of the type of jaundice, bath therapy only serves as a supplementary treatment. Physiological jaundice can be managed by allowing the baby to get more sunlight and drink more water to promote metabolism. Pathological jaundice requires blue light therapy. Newborn jaundice bath therapy can also be effective, but it still needs to be combined with medication treatment. The causes of newborn jaundice are numerous, possibly due to bile duct obstruction or the production of bilirubin.
