Pathological Jaundice: Symptoms and Manifestations
Disease description:
My baby’s skin appeared orange-yellow after birth, and I suspect it might be jaundice. I’d like to ask the doctor: What are the symptoms and manifestations of pathological jaundice?
Hello, pathological jaundice is associated with factors such as liver disease and genetic conditions. Affected infants may exhibit symptoms including yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, lethargy, abdominal distension, dark yellow urine, excessive sleepiness, and limb convulsions. If your child is diagnosed with this condition, treatment options may include medications and phototherapy using a blue-light box. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life.
