Dr. Jin Zhongkui
The most common main symptom of infant jaundice is yellowing of the skin, which may also appear on the palms, soles, and sclera. Additionally, the baby's excretions are yellow, and jaundice can affect the infant's digestive system, leading to diarrhea and spitting up milk. Therefore, if jaundice occurs, immediate medical attention is necessary, and treatment should be carried out under a doctor's guidance.
