Patient's question:
I have just given birth, but I haven't seen the baby yet. However, my partner told me that the baby has jaundice. The doctor at the hospital took the baby for treatment, but I'm still a bit worried. I would like to ask, where can I look for symptoms of jaundice in a baby?Doctor's answer:
, you can give the baby more water or sunlight. Otherwise, if it is pathological jaundice, the baby may also have accompanying symptoms, such as not eating milk, vomiting, frequent crying and fussing, excessive daytime sleep. Newborn pathological jaundice usually has the above symptoms. Your parents should remember this and not take it lightly. If the baby has jaundice, it can be seen from the baby's body color and facial skin. The baby's skin shows more obvious yellowing. In addition, you can also judge from the color of the baby's eyes. It is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible.
