Most newborns may experience skin discoloration around one week after birth. This is a consequence of bilirubin deposition on the skin surface in infants, medically known as neonatal jaundice. Neonatal jaundice may be physiological or pathological. So, how to relieve jaundice in children?
Neonatal jaundice is a common symptom that requires frequent observation. If the child's jaundice does not worsen, there is no need to worry too much, considering it to be physiological. To give children more water, they can be given glucose and exposed to more sunlight. For general jaundice, it is a normal phenomenon, and as parents, there is no need to worry too much.
However, the condition of each newborn is different, and serious cases must be promptly examined and treated at the hospital. For newborns, parents should still pay more attention to observing the condition. Don't panic when encountering unexpected situations. Pathological jaundice caused by any reason should be identified to facilitate appropriate treatment.
Jaundice is a common disease among infants and young children, mainly affecting newborns. When infants and young children develop jaundice, their face, whole body, or pupils may appear yellow. In the face of jaundice in children, corresponding measures should be taken in a timely manner to relieve it. If it is not relieved in time, it can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy.
