Question
My niece’s newborn child has developed jaundice. What treatment and care should be paid attention to?
Answer
Newborns often experience physiological jaundice within the first few days after birth. If the jaundice persists for more than half a month, it may indicate pathological jaundice, which requires treatment. As long as the treatment is timely and there are no other discomfort symptoms, it usually does not affect the child’s health. After recovery, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, regulate metabolism, appropriately supplement calcium, and get adequate sun exposure. Wishing your child a swift recovery and good health.
