What should I do if my baby has jaundice when getting the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine?

Patient's question:

Just three days after birth, jaundice appeared.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if there are jaundice symptoms, it may indicate abnormal liver function. It is not recommended to administer the hepatitis B vaccine. Medications such as Yinzhihuang Granules can be used instead. Wait until the jaundice condition resolves before scheduling the vaccination.
A child is affected by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be provided promptly. For parents, it is important to closely monitor changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical care.
