What is the reason for the baby's jaundice and foam in the mouth?

Patient's question:

Male, 1 month illness/symptoms: Foamy mouth Medical history: A newborn baby who is 10 days old, slightly jaundiced, exposed to the sun for half an hour, what's the reason for the foamy mouth? Is the yellow tongue related to jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

You said your baby has jaundice, so the current focus is to first determine the level of bilirubin to identify whether it is physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice. This is the focal point. The dog's corner might be drool. It's not a big issue. The yellow tongue may be related to jaundice. Sorry, I just ate, but I can't be exposed to the sun. I didn't mean that. The main thing is to first check the bilirubin level, and then treat accordingly based on the results. If the jaundice is severe, relying solely on sunlight will still be limited.
