Is it normal for a newborn's eyes to turn yellow?

Patient's question:

The child's eyes were slightly yellowish at 4 days, and now at 11 days, they are still the same. There is also quite a bit of eye discharge. Is this normal? Duration and onset of this illness: 7 days

Doctor's answer:

It could be neonatal jaundice. First, you need to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. The child is affected by neonatal hemolytic disease, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately and avoid using unproven advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
