Signs of neonatal jaundice disappearing

Neonatal jaundice is a very common disease and usually does not threaten the baby's life. However, parents still need to strengthen observation of the disease, pay attention to feeding and caring for the baby, follow the doctor's advice, and take phototherapy or blood exchange treatment when necessary. The baby will get better within three weeks. But if the symptoms are alleviated, there is a tendency to relapse, or if the baby eats less or even refuses to eat, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time.

1. Yellowing of hands and feet: The obvious feature of neonatal jaundice is that the hands and feet turn yellow before the body.

The skin will become lighter and have a clear contrast with the body color.

2. Yellowing of eyes: The most obvious symptom of neonatal jaundice is that the eyes turn white and yellow. If you find that the newborn's eyes turn white, from yellow to light yellow to white, it means that the neonatal jaundice is subsiding. This is an obvious sign of the subsiding of neonatal jaundice.
