Dr. Hashem Wagdy, Pediatrics Consultant at Benha University, explained that children who suffer from jaundice, or what is known as jaundice, have yellowing of the color of the skin and eyes, and this happens when there is a lot of bilirubin in the child’s blood.
The pediatric consultant revealed that the liver produces a substance called bilirubin, which is a yellow substance that comes from the natural decomposition of red blood cells. The liver removes bilirubin from the blood and passes it to the intestines so that it can get rid of it. He explained that for a newborn child, his liver does not remove bilirubin as well. The average person does, and jaundice occurs when bilirubin accumulates rapidly in the body and the liver is unable to get rid of it.
The pediatrician explained that most types of jaundice in children disappear on their own, but some other cases may require treatment to reduce bilirubin levels in the liver. He pointed out that jaundice occurs in children who are born prematurely, or who do not get enough breast milk, and this condition is called Jaundice is a result of the child’s lack of breastfeeding and usually disappears within days after the child begins breastfeeding. On the contrary, there may be cases in which bile increases due to breastfeeding. In this case, the mother must stop breastfeeding and feed the child formula milk until bilirubin levels decrease. Then go back to breastfeeding again.
