Neonatal jaundice darkening of the skin

The newborn's own resistance and regulation abilities are very low. Therefore, newborns are prone to be infected with jaundice due to some reasons right after birth. The most intuitive manifestation of this disease is that the child is originally white and plump, but after suffering from this disease, the skin becomes very dark. However, there is no need to be too anxious after the baby suffers from this disease. Let me share my personal experience with you below.

1. Give your child glucose water or sugar water

2. When the light is not very strong, take your baby out to bask in the sun for a while.

3. If the symptoms do not subside within 2 to 3 weeks, or even get worse, it may be pathological jaundice. In this case, phototherapy should be used first. Treatment should be done in a phototherapy box, and the eyes, perineum and anus should be blocked.

4. Exchange blood therapy

5. Drug treatment, supply of albumin, correction of metabolic acidosis

6. I wish your baby a speedy recovery.

Medically, jaundice that occurs in babies under one month old (within 28 days of birth) is called neonatal jaundice. The main symptoms are yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. The baby will have a loss of appetite, become restless, and his body temperature may also rise.
