A. in this query it is very difficult to comment here without knowing the proper history and without clinical evaluation. proper treatment suggestions would be given in certain cases only afterg proper clinical examination so it will be better if you visit your doctor for proper treatment

A. Hello mom Yes Jaundice is very common in babies after birth. So you should not worry about it at all. Skin colour with get normal by its own in next 10 to 15 days. If your baby is active and taking proper feed on time then everything is fine and nothing to worry about. So you should not worry about it at all
