Are red spots on body and jaundice in a newborn after being in incubator concerning?
Patient: my baby is 12 days old. His got jaundice was in the incubator for 12 hours then from 300 went to 258 we were sent home and was advised to take baby to the sun. baby eat well do wee and poo regularly. but jaundice still there and there are red spots in his body is there something that i need to worry about his condition? Your advise is much appreciated Doctor: HI...the jaundice will take at least another 10-14 days to settle completely and the red spots you are seeing could be phototherapy rash and you need not worry if the baby is feeding well and passing urine and motion well. An active baby is a well baby.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
