Bilurubin in new born baby

2023-03-24 17:05:51
Hello Doctor, Is it necessary for the new born to be placed in Phototherapy when shown yellow colour or exposing to sunlight is better? Why is it doctors prefer to keep child in nicu rather than exposing baby to sunlight? Can you please clear my doubt?
