Question
What are the symptoms of newborn jaundice and drowsiness?
Answer
When jaundice recurs in newborns, the main symptom is the yellowing of the skin and conjunctiva. Mild jaundice may appear as yellow spots on the face; moderate and severe jaundice can extend from the center of the body to the extremities. At this time, the baby may also experience other symptoms, such as reduced appetite and decreased intake of breast milk. Severe jaundice symptoms may be accompanied by seizures, twitching, or abnormal limb muscle tension.
