Question
My child just born doesn’t know what’s wrong, there are always red spots on his body, and he’s vomiting. Why does the jaundice in premature babies not go away?
Answer
Based on your description of the symptoms, it is considered that the baby’s discomfort is caused by newborn jaundice due to poor bilirubin metabolism. The red spots on the baby’s face are likely due to skin irritation caused by ultraviolet light exposure. Don’t worry; the baby’s skin will recover soon. Just ensure the baby gets plenty of rest and during treatment, use a cloth to shield the baby’s face from direct ultraviolet light exposure. Wishing the baby a healthy life!
