Question
After 13 days of birth, my child’s face has turned yellow. They are feeding normally and their stool color is yellow or sometimes yellow-green. Is this a case of newborn jaundice?
Answer
This situation could be a sign of newborn jaundice, but it’s important to check if the whites of the eyes also show signs of yellowing. If they do, the jaundice may be more severe. It is recommended to visit a local hospital as soon as possible to undergo an examination to determine the specific situation. Treatment may include medication or blue light therapy. Newborn jaundice is common and manageable. Wishing your baby health!
