Question
Started turning yellow after one month old, treated at Wuzhou Workers Hospital in Guangxi, still very yellow
Answer
The jaundice on the skin and eyes of newborns has a protective effect on the body, protecting it from the damage of free radicals. All infants and adult bodies have protective mechanisms against free radicals. The latest research suggests that bilirubin in infants has a protective effect on them, as this pigment is an antioxidant that causes newborns to appear with mild jaundice. Mild jaundice in newborns is physiological, but high levels of bilirubin in the body after birth should be paid attention to, and one should be vigilant for any pathological conditions that may occur.
