Question
If a newborn has jaundice on their face, should parents be worried about their child’s health?
Answer
If the jaundice is physiological, it can be relieved with medication, and the jaundice will gradually fade. However, if the jaundice is pathological, immediate medical attention and treatments such as phototherapy are required; otherwise, serious consequences such as intellectual disability or cerebral palsy may occur. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek professional medical help in a timely manner.
