Patient's question:
A newborn baby has been urinating with a discharge similar to leukorrhea on the fifth day. On the fourth day, why was their face slightly yellow? The doctor used a device to measure 13.7. Should treatment be administered?Doctor's answer:
Hello. How is the child's condition? We can take a urine sample for a microscopic examination. Okay. The child has been urinating with a milky appearance since the fifth day of birth. I think it might be related to insufficient water intake. You can encourage the child to drink more water, which might improve the situation. If it doesn't work, it's best to have the child checked at the hospital. On the fourth day, why was the face a bit yellow? The doctor used a device to measure 13.7, which is normal. It's considered physiological jaundice. I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
