What is the reason for the yellow nose of the newborn baby?

Newborns are generally too weak, and if there are any physical problems, parents will pay special attention to them. Indeed, who doesn't want their children to grow up healthily? In order for children to grow up healthily and happily, we should always keep children's problems, no matter how big or small, in mind. After all, they are still so weak and cannot express themselves. Let's take a look at the problem of yellow nose in newborns.

1. Clinically, it is recommended to check the liver and gallbladder function of the baby. Sometimes iron deficiency can also cause the above symptoms. After the diagnosis is confirmed, timely treatment measures should be taken to correct the condition.

2. If the baby eats too much carrots, he or she will suffer from hypercarotenemia and the baby's skin will turn yellow. Carrots contain a lot of carotene. If a lot of carrots are eaten in a short period of time, the intake of carotene will be too much. The liver will not have time to convert it into vitamin A, and the excess carotene will flow to all parts of the body with the blood. At this time, the child may have yellow skin on the palms, soles, nose tip, nasolabial groove, forehead, etc. (but the sclera and mucous membranes are not yellow, which is different from the jaundice caused by hepatitis), but there are no other symptoms. In severe cases, the yellow parts can be all over the body, and the baby may have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and general fatigue. Some children will have what Chinese medicine calls "getting angry" symptoms, such as glossitis, periodontitis, pharyngitis, etc. However, if the baby has hypercarotenemia, the mother does not need to be too nervous. Because as long as the baby stops eating carrots for a few days, the yellow skin will fade. Of course, hypercarotenemia is a pathological process after all. If the baby really has this situation, the mother should not continue to feed the baby a large amount of carrots.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why the nose of a newborn turns yellow. I hope it will be helpful to the patients’ parents. Generally, newborns will be like this for a period of time after birth. Parents should not worry too much and should take their children out to bask in the sun more often. However, considering that the child is still young, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, so that parents can feel at ease and will not affect the health of their children.
