Question
Is the newborn’s entire body turning yellow a sign of jaundice? How can we determine if the child has jaundice?
Answer
Hello, if a newborn’s entire body is yellowish, it is likely related to jaundice. This is a symptom that requires active examination and treatment to confirm whether it is pathological jaundice and to take appropriate treatment measures to avoid affecting the child’s health. If the newborn develops jaundice immediately after birth, it is usually pathological jaundice. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment immediately, which may require blue light therapy. Please follow the doctor’s advice for examination and treatment.
