What help I would like: Please advise experts. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this condition may be infant jaundice. Generally, it appears three days after birth and gradually fades away within half a month, which is a normal phenomenon. If it has not faded after one month, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital to measure their jaundice index. If the child's jaundice index is high, active treatment should be implemented, and blue light therapy can be used. If it is breast milk jaundice, you need to stop breastfeeding for a few days.
