What to do if your child's skin turns yellow

We all like children to be fair and chubby, but we all know that the skin of Chinese people is yellowish. Although the skin is a little yellow, it is very shiny. We can also find around us that some babies’ skin is not only yellow but also has no luster at all. This makes many new parents feel very worried. So what should we do if children’s skin is yellow?

In addition to neonatal jaundice, the baby's yellow face can be divided into two types: light yellow and bright yellow. Light yellow color indicates that the child is weak, and if the child is older, it indicates poor spleen and stomach function.

The baby's jaundice is attributed to excessive accumulation of "bilirubin" in the blood, which causes the skin and mucous membranes to become yellowish. The key points of judgment are yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes, and dark color. If you are not sure, you can check your baby's serum bilirubin.

At the same time, physiological jaundice in newborns is usually caused by the immature liver function of the infant. As the newborn's liver's ability to process bilirubin increases, jaundice will naturally subside, so parents generally do not need additional care for physiological jaundice. During the period of jaundice, the child can be fed more warm boiled water or glucose water for diuresis.

1. Pale yellow complexion: To prevent weak spleen and stomach, parents must feed their children properly, and do not eat too much meat to avoid food poisoning; do not abuse some heat-clearing and fire-purging drugs, such as Isatis root granules, heat-clearing and fire-purging oral liquid, etc., so as not to hurt the stomach with bitter and cold foods; do not eat too much snacks, etc.

2. Bright yellow face: Eat less greasy, sweet and fatty foods in your daily diet. A yellow face is often accompanied by insufficient qi and blood. It is recommended to eat more longan, red dates, wolfberry, etc.

What should we do if our child’s skin turns yellow? I believe you all know what’s going on after reading the introduction above. I also hope that through the introduction above you can have a better solution. We all know that yellow skin is most likely caused by jaundice, and the appearance of jaundice has a lot to do with the child’s nutrition. So in the face of such a situation, we must pay attention to the baby’s diet and supplement nutrition in time.
