Parent’s question: Since my baby was born, there is a little yellowish color on his forehead and around his eyes, the doctor in the hospital said it is jaundice, I am worried that the baby is not feeling well, and the baby has been crying all the time, what kind of discomforts will the jaundice cause to the baby if the jaundice occurs?
Answer
Doctor’s answer: Hello, there are different types of jaundice. In addition, after the appearance of jaundice, it is necessary to confirm whether it is pathological or physiological jaundice. Jaundice itself does not cause discomfort to the baby. Jaundice may be hepatocellular jaundice, obstructive jaundice or hemolytic jaundice. Jaundice is normal in babies, but it can also be pathologic.
