What is the reason for the child's face to be dark yellow?

A child's face may be dark and yellow due to symptoms of neonatal jaundice, which is a common physiological phenomenon. It is mainly caused by the failure to excrete meconium in time. Generally, the waste will shrink automatically after being excreted. A dark and yellow face in an older child may be due to malnutrition and anemia. This requires mothers to pay attention to the baby's diet and check whether there are any abnormalities in the child's liver and gallbladder.

1. Neonatal jaundice is generally a normal phenomenon. Because the meconium is not discharged in time, the clean bilirubin will be reabsorbed into the blood through the special enterohepatic circulation of the newborn, causing an increase in jaundice. When the meconium changes from black to yellow, it means that the meconium is normal, and the problem of yellow complexion will gradually improve.

2. If older children have a yellow complexion and diarrhea, it is mostly caused by nutrition not keeping up with the child's development. It is very important to recommend dietary supplements for children with anemia. In addition, you can also take your child to the hospital for a hemoglobin test. In life, we should ensure that children's diet is balanced and various nutrients are supplied. You can eat more calcium-rich dairy products and soy products, animal liver, blood, meat, eggs, and fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.

3. Another possibility is liver and gallbladder disease and genetic reasons. This needs to be confirmed by the hospital, but if the baby's face was not yellow before, it is generally not due to genetic reasons.

The reasons why children's faces turn yellow are basically the three situations mentioned above. Generally, it is not a serious problem. Parents should pay attention to the nutritional balance of their children's food. Because children grow very fast, if they are not careful, it will cause nutritional imbalance and will have a bad impact on their development. In addition, balanced nutrition for children can also prevent them from being picky eaters. In addition, we should also pay attention to children's exercise. Nowadays, fewer and fewer children are doing outdoor activities. Having a good physique is the key to a good health.
