What is the reason for the discoloration of a baby's eyes and how to treat it?

Patient's question:

A friend's baby's eyes are a bit red. I want to ask what causes a baby's eyes to turn red and how to treat it. Do they need to go to the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: The baby showing the above symptoms may be experiencing neonatal jaundice. It is recommended to have the baby checked by the neonatology department to determine whether it is physiological or pathological jaundice, and then decide whether treatment is needed. If there is truly phlegm in the child's throat, regardless of how their position changes, the snoring sound will not change with the position. In that case, it indeed requires treatment. If there is a lot of phlegm, it is necessary to seek medical attention.
