Patient's question:
A baby born in July developed jaundice about 4 days after birth, and it hasn't gone away yet.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice starts from the head and fades from the feet, with the eyes being the earliest to turn yellow and the last to return to normal. Therefore, you can start by observing the eyes. If you're unsure how to check, it's recommended to press any part of the body. As long as the pressed skin area turns white, it's fine; if it remains yellow, that's something to be aware of.There are several causes of pediatric liver disease. If a child is diagnosed with it, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should follow a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
