Hello! Jaundice has many causes. Jaundice in hands and feet in children may be due to vitamin A supplementation such as: the child is fed a lot of pumpkins, carrots,...
Jaundice of hands and feet can also be caused by diseases of the liver and biliary tract.
Ideally, you should take your baby to a pediatric specialist - a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be examined and find out the cause of jaundice in the baby girl's palms and feet.
Wish you always have good health. Best regards!
