JAUNDICE IN CHILDREN
Jaundice is a common health issue in children, especially newborns. It happens when there is too much bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow substance made when the body breaks down old red blood cells. If the liver cannot remove it fast enough, it causes yellowing of the skin, eyes, and sometimes urine.
Why does jaundice happen in children
Jaundice can occur due to:
Newborn liver not fully developed
Infection or illness
Blood group mismatch between mother and baby
Liver disease or blockage in bile ducts
Common Symptoms of Jaundice
Yellow skin and eyes
Dark yellow urine
Pale or white stool (in some cases)
Tiredness or sleepiness
Poor feeding (especially in newborns)
If you see any of these signs in your child, do not ignore. Visit a pediatrician immediately.
How is Jaundice Diagnosed?
Physical examination
Blood tests
Liver function tests
Phototherapy level checks (for babies)
Treatment of Jaundice
Treatment depends on the cause and bilirubin level.
Mild Jaundice – Often goes away on its own.
Phototherapy – Special light treatment to remove bilirubin.
IV Fluids or Medicines – In case of infections or dehydration.
Exchange transfusion – In rare and serious cases.
