Jaundiced Newborn Requires NICU Admission
When newborns have jaundice after natural births, monitoring it closely matters. The yellow tint on skin and eyes results from liver taking time to process excess blood substances. NICU care may be required to check and restore normal levels. Special light treatments usually resolve this soon.

Common illnesses in teens: What to expect
Hiccups happen when the diaphragm muscle below the lungs contracts suddenly. Eating rapidly, carbonated beverages or excitement may trigger hiccups. Typically, hiccups stop by themselves but try deep breathing or sipping water if persistent. Hiccups are little noises our bodies make, sometimes cute. They usually resolve on their own, but lasting ones need attention. Deep breaths help relax the diaphragm, while water soothes throat spasms causing hiccups.

HIV-positive mother, is the daughter at risk?
Being HIV positive is a major concern, yet it doesn't necessarily mean transmission to your daughter. Daily activities like sharing meals or embracing do not spread HIV. The virus can only transmit via blood, sexual relations, or during childbirth. Getting your daughter tested for HIV will provide certainty. If positive, treatments exist to maintain her health. There's no need for excessive worry; simply encourage her to undergo testing.
