Question

My child just gave birth, and I don’t know what’s wrong, as there are always red spots on their body, and they are also vomiting. How can neonatal jaundice be removed?

Answer

Currently, the most common treatment for pathological neonatal jaundice is phototherapy. Through light exposure, bilirubin in the body is converted into other substances, allowing the continuously accumulated bilirubin to find another outlet, thereby improving jaundice symptoms. Children are vulnerable to neonatal diseases, so mothers must take their children to the doctor immediately to avoid various misconceptions and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is crucial to observe their child’s symptoms closely and do everything possible to help them receive timely medical treatment.
