Patient's question:
After the child was born, everything was normal. However, after 3-5 days, the child's face began to turn yellow, and the eyes also started to turn yellow gradually. The neck also began to turn yellow and the trend was getting worse. How to check newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to take the baby to a hospital in the county to check the bilirubin. Only based on the test results can we determine the baby's current condition. If it is not severe, oral jaundice-reducing medication can be taken. It is possible to experience a more severe case of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia again. The order in which jaundice reappears in newborns is from top to bottom. If the lower limbs have already started to turn yellow, it may indicate that the values are already very high and hospital treatment is necessary.
