Enough intake of yellow vegies will turn their skin yellow, sparing the white of the eyes. Jaundice from any cause should show in the white of the eyes. Your doc can see or test to confirm.

Liver panel testing is recommended. The extent and cause should be considered. Orange vegetables may cause discoloration of the skin. Please follow up and watch for signs of vomiting and dark urine. Keep your child well hydrated.
