Question
How should neonatal jaundice be treated?
Answer
The treatment for neonatal jaundice varies depending on its severity. If it’s only mild and manifests as yellowing of the face, chest, and skin, it can be carefully observed without regular hospital visits. If the jaundice reaches a moderate to severe level, hospitalization for blue light therapy is necessary, along with numerous related checks to determine the cause of the jaundice and to provide appropriate solutions based on the underlying cause.
