My baby was born only a few days ago, and their face is a little yellow. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

My baby's face turned a little yellow just a few days after birth. What's going on?
Birth history and treatment within two days: None
What kind of help do you want: Does it affect the child? If so, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal jaundice, first consider physiological jaundice, which can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, feed appropriately earlier, provide sufficient water and heat energy, and expel meconium early, which can reduce the severity of physiological jaundice. If the jaundice is severe or persists, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment. This is the advice for the question "Why does my baby's face look a little yellow just a few days after birth?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
