Patient's question:
My baby hasn't been born for a month yet. Now he has jaundice. Today I noticed his lips are particularly red. It's a dark red. So I wanted to ask if jaundice in newborns can cause red lips?Doctor's answer:
If there isn't much of a relationship, we can actively regulate it. Observe the child's symptoms. Actively treat jaundice. Jaundice is the yellowing of the skin, eyes, and sclera caused by elevated bilirubin in the human body. Bilirubin is a byproduct of the aging and death of red blood cells in the human body. If bilirubin is too high, exceeding the liver's ability to process bilirubin, the liver cells' ability to process bilirubin declines. Bilirubin cannot be excreted from the body, which will cause jaundice. Infant jaundice refers to a condition where the skin, eyes, and urine turn yellow after birth. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as fetal jaundice.
