JAUNDICE:
Jaundice, which is one of the most common infant diseases, is seen in 60% of newborns, while it is seen in 80% of babies born prematurely.

As with any disease, a doctor's control is essential in jaundice.

Conjunctivitis, which is a symptom of a microbial condition, is among the diseases that can be easily eliminated as a result of wiping the eyes with the medication given by your doctor. With clean hands, you can also remove the burrs in the eyes with the help of water.
