Patient's question:
Since my child was born, I have been particularly concerned about his physical health. I heard that many children develop jaundice after birth, but I have never seen it. What does newborn jaundice look like?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, jaundice in babies is usually characterized by yellowish skin, which typically disappears within about a week. If the symptoms do not improve, it may be pathological, generally considered to be hyperbilirubinemia. If there is jaundice, there is no need to worry. Observe for two days. If the symptoms do not improve, you can go to the hospital to measure the jaundice level and then see what the doctor recommends for treatment.
