A paediatrician at the Bono Regional Hospital in Sunyani, Dr. Bright Asiamah, has called on mothers to stop using naphthalene balls in their babies’ clothes.
He said that naphthalene balls can cause jaundice, a condition that causes the skin and eyes to turn yellow.

Dr. Asiamah said that mothers should stop using naphthalene balls in their babi...
