Question
How can newborn jaundice be managed?
Answer
Most newborns with jaundice are treated with the medication called Phyllanthus emblica, but it may cause side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea. The dosage should be consulted with a doctor to avoid harming the baby’s gastrointestinal system. At the same time, the doctor may prescribe probiotics to protect the baby’s gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, appropriate sunbathing can help alleviate jaundice symptoms; about an hour of sunlight daily is usually sufficient, and jaundice typically subsides within 25 to 30 days after birth. Mothers should closely monitor their baby’s condition and seek medical attention promptly if anything seems unusual.
