Patient's question:
We don't have a baby at home, and she has only been born for about ten days. This morning when I went to see her, I noticed that her baby's face was a bit yellow, and I strongly suspected that she had newborn jaundice. I was very worried and wanted to know what are the symptoms of newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn has jaundice, it can cause the baby's skin and eyes to appear yellowish. You can check if the white of their eyes is also relatively yellow. Additionally, the forehead, eyes, chest, and back can all show signs of yellowing. It's advisable to have them tested. If the overall appearance is quite yellow, it can be determined that the baby has neonatal jaundice.
