What should I do if the white part of my eye turns yellow?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my daughter is 14 days old, and her sclera is a little yellow. Do I need to take medicine? Do I need to go to the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, newborn jaundice can be either physiological or pathological. If it is pathological, active treatment is necessary. Currently, the best approach is to monitor the baby's condition. Normal jaundice usually disappears completely within half a month to about twenty days. Jaundice gradually fades, so it is important to observe. If you notice no change or worsening of jaundice, seek medical attention promptly. Light therapy can be used to effectively treat jaundice. It is recommended to visit a good hospital for treatment, as better hospitals are generally excellent.
