Patient's question:
A baby who is one week old has yellow eyes, what should be done? How to deal with many small, bubble-like bumps on the baby's forehead?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, consider jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is a special physiological phenomenon. In normal newborns, about 50% to 70% of infants develop jaundice on the second or third day after birth, usually first appearing on the face and neck, then the trunk and limbs, followed by the sclera, with mild yellowing also visible. Generally, jaundice becomes lighter between the seventh and tenth day and disappears approximately after two weeks. If jaundice persists for more than two weeks, recurs, or worsens, with serum bilirubin levels exceeding 205.2 mmol/L (12 mg/dL), it is considered pathological jaundice and should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
