Question
How can you check if a newborn has jaundice?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice is caused by an accumulation of bilirubin in the newborn’s body, which can typically be detected through a blood test or by measuring the skin color. In most cases, physiological jaundice will resolve on its own within a few days after birth. However, if the jaundice persists for an extended period or shows pathological symptoms, further examination and treatment may be necessary.
