What causes yellow eyes in babies?

Babies are a relatively special group because their physique is generally weak. They have not yet fully adapted to the external environment and are gradually adapting. Therefore, some external conditions have a great impact on them, and may even affect the physical development of many babies. I believe that many babies have this condition, with yellow eyes. Let’s take a look at what causes yellow eyes in babies.

This is a normal reaction of neonatal jaundice. Jaundice will appear, with yellowing of the skin and eyeballs. Get more sun exposure and feed some glucose water appropriately. Generally, the jaundice will fade away in about 15 days, and sometimes it may take about a month.

This means that the baby has jaundice, which usually starts two days after the baby is born and disappears in about two weeks. However, there is also breast milk jaundice, which lasts longer, perhaps one or two months.

It may be because of jaundice or the jaundice has not completely faded. Usually, give your baby more water. If it goes fast, it will go away in a week. If it goes slowly, it will take about a month.

Medically, jaundice in babies under one month old (within 28 days of birth) is called neonatal jaundice. Neonatal jaundice refers to a disease characterized by jaundice of the skin, mucous membranes and sclera due to abnormal bilirubin metabolism in the neonatal period. This disease can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice appears 2 to 3 days after birth, reaches its peak on the 4th to 6th day, and disappears on the 7th to 10th day. It lasts longer in premature infants and, except for mild loss of appetite, has no other clinical symptoms. If jaundice appears within 24 hours after birth, does not subside within 2 to 3 weeks, or even continues to deepen and worsen, or reappears after subsiding, or jaundice begins to appear within one to several weeks after birth, it is pathological jaundice.

The above is the condition of yellowing eyes in infants. Do not ignore the yellowing eyes. It must be because the child has jaundice. This is very important. This is a common disease among infants. I believe that there are many infants, even more than 70% of infants have this condition. Therefore, in life, we must protect the baby's eyes.
