Carpet has gone yellow

Is anyone able to help?
My son was poorly on our cream carpet, I wiped it straight up with a baby wipe and then but some dr Beckmann (?sp) on it. It didn’t do anything so I popped some bio powder on it to take away the smell. It’s gone so yellow in colour. Any tips on how to get rid of the yellow staining?
Thank you

    I used bio detergent on a carpet once and it bleached it. Even professional cleaning couldn't sort it, we ended up getting rid of the carpet.

    Sounds like the colour has been taken out by whatever you used, or as above it's bleached it. What colour was the carpet?
