Questions
My newborn’s skin and eyes are yellow, and there are also many yellow eye secretions. These symptoms appeared ten days after birth. What is this situation? What should I do?
Answers
This may be a symptom of physiological jaundice in newborns. Newborn physiological jaundice is a unique phenomenon during the neonatal period, caused by excessive red blood cell breakdown and immature liver function, leading to elevated serum bilirubin levels. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to confirm whether it is physiological jaundice or pathological jaundice, and to pay attention to care.
