Question
How should phototherapy be administered to a baby with jaundice?
Answer
When observing a newborn with jaundice, attention should be paid to the baby’s overall symptoms, including their mental state, feeding ability, whether they exhibit restlessness, eye deviation, or stiffness in the limbs. For severe cases, early detection and appropriate treatment are crucial. Since the child may be affected by neonatal diseases, the mother should take the child to a doctor immediately, avoid using unknown medications on their own, and adhere to medical instructions for medication use. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and assist in treating the disease as early as possible.
