Patient's question:
The child is now 10 days old. Since the third day of birth, their face has been slightly yellow, and it hasn't improved much now. It's only the face that's yellow, not the body. Could you please tell me which part of the jaundice is fading faster?Doctor's answer:
You can give the child medication, let them drink more warm water, and take them outdoors to get some sunlight, which can help reduce jaundice. Mothers should pay close attention to observe. If necessary, you can take the child to the hospital for blue light treatment. If the face is not yellow, the jaundice level is generally not high. However, these are preliminary assessments, and without a hospital examination, they may not be accurate. It is recommended to have the child checked at the hospital if you are concerned about jaundice, and then reassess.
