A newborn's face is slightly yellow, usually caused by jaundice. Some children do not need treatment and can recover on their own, but some newborns have hemolytic jaundice and need treatment to recover. So what should we do if a newborn's face is slightly yellow?
If the parents of a newborn have type O blood, it is important to be aware that the child may develop hemolytic jaundice. Children's jaundice can be reduced by shining blue light. Nowadays, almost all newborns need to be exposed to blue light after birth. Blue light is not harmful to children, and exposure to blue light can help treat the yellowing of newborns' faces.
If a child has a slightly yellowish complexion, professional instruments can be used to check whether their bilirubin level is high. If bilirubin is too high, it is pathological jaundice and must be treated as soon as possible. If it is physiological jaundice, no treatment is needed, just give the child some medication to treat and recover.
The child's face is a bit yellow, you can let them bask in more sunlight. The general condition of having a yellow face will disappear on its own after a few months. As long as the child is not hemolytic, there is no need to be too anxious about this situation. Just observe the child more to avoid excessive jaundice. As long as the jaundice level drops, the child's face will not turn yellow.
