Patient's question:
The child's skin is yellow, but his eyes are not yellow, so he didn't go to the hospital for a check-up. But his skin has always felt yellowish. He went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said the jaundice wasn't severe. Neonatal jaundice with yellow eyes?Doctor's answer:
There are still things to pay attention to and a detailed and careful inspection is needed. Although severe jaundice may turn the eyes white, yellow, or even green, the absence of jaundice does not necessarily mean a disease. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. Jaundice refers to actively saving newborns, who are very fragile. Yellowing of the eyes is medically referred to as scleral icterus. Simple scleral yellowing is often a symptom of early or fading stages of neonatal jaundice. If the sclera is yellow but not on the limbs, torso, and face, it is mostly acceptable.
