Question
Is newborn jaundice and pneumonia serious? Do they require treatment?
Answer
If the baby’s jaundice is physiological, it will heal on its own without treatment. However, pneumonia should be addressed promptly. Parents should take the infant to a regular hospital pediatric department for appropriate examination and treatment. Never resort to blind or indiscriminate use of medication, as this could have serious consequences for the child’s health. At the same time, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water to avoid dehydration due to fever. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the baby warm and change clothes promptly.
