Question
What are the symptoms of neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice typically presents as yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes. Apart from the skin turning yellow, there are generally no other obvious symptoms. If jaundice is severe, it may lead to kernicterus, which requires further treatment. It is recommended to visit a better hospital for liver function tests to assess the severity and receive further treatment, usually involving blue light therapy.
