Question
After three days of birth, the newborn’s face turns yellow with spots. Is this jaundice and what are the solutions?
Answer
It is normal for newborns to have a yellowish face three days after birth. However, if the jaundice level is too high, it can be treated with blue light therapy or sunlight lamp therapy, while covering the eyes. Oral senna yellow medicine can also be taken. Additionally, provide more plain water and bathe the baby daily. Adjust clothing according to the room temperature and ensure adequate warmth.
