Jaundice in newborns
Jaundice in newborns, also known as neonatal jaundice, is a common condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and sclerae (the whites of the eyes) due to elevated levels of bilirubin in the blood. While neonatal jaundice is often benign and resolves on its own, severe or prolonged jaundice may require medical evaluation and intervention. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for jaundice in newborns is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of newborn infants.
