Question
How should neonatal jaundice be treated? What is the approximate cost?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually resolves within two weeks after birth. If a baby’s jaundice persists beyond two weeks, it may indicate pathological jaundice, which requires further examination and treatment. Treatment methods may include oral medication and blue light therapy, among others. The exact treatment plan should be determined after a medical examination and may vary based on the child’s condition and the complexity of the treatment required.
