Question
How to deal with jaundice infection in newborns?
Answer
About 80%-90% of newborns will exhibit jaundice symptoms, with about 80% being physiological jaundice. Physiological jaundice typically appears 3-4 days after birth, reaches its peak within 5-7 days, and naturally resolves within two weeks. The baby’s condition is good, and it will not affect growth and development. Parents can give the baby yinzi yellow and mami love to help relieve the jaundice. Additionally, keeping the baby warm and appropriately exposing them to sunlight can also be helpful. If it is pathological jaundice, symptoms usually appear within 24 hours after birth and become increasingly severe. If the serum bilirubin level is below 20, blue light therapy can be considered.
