Question
The child’s urine looks like white discharge on the fifth day after birth, and on the fourth day, the face was slightly yellow. The doctor’s measurement result was 13.7. Do I need to treat it?
Answer
Hello. How is the child’s mental state? A stool examination can be conducted to confirm the situation. If the child’s fluid intake is relatively low, it may be one of the reasons. You can let the child drink more water, and the situation may improve. If the problem still persists, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination. As for the slightly yellow face on the fourth day and the measurement result of 13.7, this is a physiological jaundice, a normal phenomenon. Hope this helps, and wish you health!
