Newborn jaundice light therapy occasionally has side effects such as fever, rash, and nausea, which disappear as the treatment ends. During treatment, it’s important to give the baby plenty of water and, if breastfeeding, to consume more milk. The specific treatment situation depends on the condition, and the doctor will also inform you of any precautions. There is no need to worry excessively.
If a newborn’s umbilical cord detaches and there is slight bleeding, parents often worry whether an injection is needed for treatment. According to professional opinions, at this time, it is only necessary to take appropriate infection prevention measures and apply dragon’s bile purple or iodine tincture to the umbilical cord area. At the same time, the baby’s diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting plenty of sunlight. Additionally, if the baby shows symptoms of calcium or zinc deficiency, such as an unsealed fontanelle or ulcerated corners of the mouth, appropriate supplementation of calcium and vitamin D, or zinc elements is required.
