A. hello parent it's quite common to notice such changes you can apply coconut oil if the lips are dry or you can also apply breast milk over the lips as long as baby is active and feeding adequately don't worry about it check for any yellowness over the body also

A. Hello dear parent, post phototherapy jaundice is not completely vanished. Eyes remain yellow for some days. And then slowly it starts getting better. You should better consult with your paediatric for darker lips inside as that needs examination. Good luck and take care
