Question
Can newborns have their nails trimmed before one month old? My child is on the 10th day of life and has developed physiological jaundice with a yellowish complexion. How should I handle this?
Answer
After a newborn is born, if their nails are too long, they may scratch themselves, so parents should trim them promptly. For physiological jaundice, it should be observed and may resolve on its own. However, if there is a suspicion of pathological jaundice, immediate medical examination should be sought to avoid using unverified remedies or medications.
