Newborn jaundice should visit which department?
Which department to visit for neonatal jaundice depends on the child's specific situation and the departments available in the hospital. For hospitals with only a general pediatrics department, it is advisable to visit the pediatric outpatient clinic during normal working hours and the pediatric emergency department during non-working hours such as noon, evenings, weekends, and holidays. In specialized children's hospitals, if the jaundice is in a preterm infant, then the preterm infant clinic should be visited. If it is a normal full-term infant, a visit to the neonatology outpatient clinic is generally sufficient. However, if there is a suspicion that the baby's jaundice might be caused by surgical factors, such as congenital biliary atresia or choledochal cyst, then a visit to the hepatobiliary surgery clinic is advised.
