Question
Why would a newborn’s face turn yellow just a few days after birth?
Answer
The yellowing of a newborn’s face is typically caused by physiological jaundice, which usually clears up on its own within two weeks after birth. To alleviate the symptoms of physiological jaundice, you can take the following measures: pay attention to the newborn’s warmth, start feeding early, ensure they receive enough fluids and calories, and promote the early excretion of meconium. However, if the jaundice symptoms are severe or persist, it may indicate pathological jaundice, which requires hospitalization for treatment.
