Dr Nagendra Singh, the medical officer of Birsa Munda Medical College and Hospital, said the baby was placed in a phototherapy machine on August 25.
Dr Singh claimed rashes started appearing on the baby’s back and face.
Skin doctors diagnosed that the baby suffered from a skin syndrome, and his haemoglobin level was below normal, he claimed.
“We had advised the family to take him to the Jabalpur Medical College and Hospital for advanced treatment, but instead, they created a furore at the hospital,” Dr Singh said.
