Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my baby's hands and feet have been a bit yellowish over the past week, but their spirits are quite good. Yesterday, I had a thorough check-up of their liver function, and everything is normal with no issues. It's just that they ate a lot of oranges about a week ago.Doctor's answer:
Yes, if you eat a lot of yellow foods, such as pumpkin, carrots, oranges, and oranges, the high content of carotenes in these yellow foods can lead to "hypercarotenemia," causing the soles of your feet, palms, forehead, and wings of your nose to turn yellow again. However, liver function tests are normal, and it has nothing to do with a disorder in bilirubin metabolism. It will improve once you stop eating them. No need to worry.
