Why My Daughter Looks Yellow?

My daughter will be 2 in august. Quite a few people over the past few days have told me that she looks yellow in colour. She has been sleeping more then she normally would do throughout the daytimes, stools have been much like pebbles for a long time, is urinating a little more than normal but is generally happy and bubbly in herself. Please can someone enlighten me as to why she looks so yellow.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Yellowing in children mainly occurs due to jaundice or anemia.

I suggest you to do liver function tests and complete blood count to rule out both.

Review with reports.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
I find this answer helpful
