Is it Jaundice?

Asked for Male, 6 years

I was blessed with a baby boy 6 days ago. It was a normal delivery and hospital discharged them three days later. Now I noticed his eyes and skin being a bit yellowish. The baby has a little high temperature and does not feed well. Will he be ok given medication or should I do some test like CBC? Please specify the test if it is to be done.

Kindly take him to the nearest hospital. If the baby is yellowing and has a fever then these are not good signs and he should be examined before some tests are run.
