Many newborns may have jaundice at birth, but generally speaking, jaundice will gradually subside over a period of time, depending on individual physical condition and how parents take care of it. However, there may also be pathological jaundice, which needs to be taken seriously by parents. So how does jaundice in newborns born by caesarean section disappear quickly?
Generally speaking, jaundice is quite common in newborns. Physiological jaundice usually occurs around four days after birth, and as the child grows older, there will be a peak period of jaundice. However, it usually subsides within one to two weeks. During this period, the mother must closely monitor the child's condition, because if jaundice continues to increase, it can also have an impact on the child and can be treated accordingly.
Mothers can choose to expose their babies to more sunlight, as the ultraviolet rays in sunlight have a certain effect on reducing jaundice. In addition, parents should also pay attention to their baby's bowel movements. Regular bowel movements can help reduce the absorption of bilirubin and promote its excretion. In addition, if the baby is breastfed and there is no improvement after relevant treatment, it is also necessary to consider whether it is caused by breast milk jaundice. In this case, it is necessary to stop breastfeeding and switch to a different formula to see if the baby's jaundice can subside.
If the condition continues to worsen, medication can be taken if necessary. In some cases, if bilirubin does not improve after any treatment, patients may need to go to the hospital for blue light therapy. This is the fastest way to relieve jaundice and the effect is very good. Therefore, as a family member, it is necessary to observe the color of the child's entire body. Once a critical condition occurs, it is likely to worsen, and if there is no improvement after treatment, the child must go to the hospital for treatment. This is the safest way for the child.
