Patient's question:
A colleague recently had a baby, and they noticed that the baby's sclera (the white part of the eyes) was yellow. They're concerned because they think they might have added too much salt. They want to know if it's important if a newborn's sclera is yellow due to jaundice.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is both physiological and pathological. Pathological jaundice occurs earlier and has more severe symptoms. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed through blood tests or transcutaneous bilirubin detection. Pathological jaundice requires oral anti-jaundice medication combined with blue light therapy. Appropriately increase probiotics. Get more sun exposure. This child's eyes are both white and yellow. This condition is considered jaundice and requires hospital treatment. It is recommended to take the child for a check-up and actively treat it.
