Question
My newborn’s face has turned yellow, and they have been sick for over 10 days. How should I treat the newborn’s facial jaundice?
Answer
A newborn’s face showing distinct jaundice, based on the medical history and symptoms, may indicate neonatal jaundice. Jaundice can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. It is necessary to monitor the changes in jaundice. If the jaundice worsens or recurs after improvement, it is important to go to the hospital for relevant tests, such as jaundice index and liver and kidney function tests. Treatment should be symptomatic under the guidance of a doctor when necessary.
