Patient's question:

The baby was born today, the seventh day. Yesterday, I noticed that his sclera is yellow. What could be the reason for this? Is it good for the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I am glad to reply to you. According to the situation you described, first, except for pathological jaundice and nuclear jaundice, it is recommended to go to the hospital for pediatric examination and laboratory tests to actively treat the symptoms. Newborns' eyes are white and yellow, which is jaundice, often accompanied by yellowing of the face and skin mucosa. It is necessary to go to the hospital to see a doctor and check liver function. Physiological jaundice does not require treatment, and pathological jaundice needs treatment. Wish your baby healthy growth!
