Question

What are the symptoms of pathological jaundice in children?

Answer

Children with pathological jaundice may show yellowing of the entire skin and mucous membranes, with a more pronounced yellowing. Additionally, the palms and soles may also appear yellow. If the bilirubin level exceeds 220, it may indicate pathological jaundice. It is advisable for parents to actively take their children for checks and start treatment before the jaundice becomes severe, to avoid complications.
