Patient's question:
My baby has had a little yellowish mark on his forehead and around his eyes since birth. The doctor at the hospital said it's due to jaundice. I'm worried the baby might be uncomfortable, and the baby has been crying all the time. If the baby has jaundice, where does the jaundice make the baby uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Dear Parent,Actually, jaundice is not of the same type. After jaundice appears, it is important to determine whether it is pathological or physiological jaundice, as it does not cause discomfort to the child. Jaundice includes hepatic jaundice, obstructive jaundice, and hemolytic jaundice. In infants, jaundice can be normal or pathological.
