What is the reason for jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

I still have a baby who was found to have jaundice within 24 hours of birth, and the doctor asked not to take medicine and let it gradually subside. 3. Relevant tests have been done, such as ultrasound and hemolysis. Can the liver function report show what caused the jaundice? It has been more than three and a half months and it has not subsided yet.

Doctor's answer:

A child with six days of age currently has slightly high jaundice and needs to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine to reduce jaundice. Take Yinzhihuang Granules and drink some Portuguese sugar water. Additionally, taking probiotics is also acceptable. On good weather days, take the child outdoors to get some sun. Alternatively, you can stop breastfeeding for a week and carefully observe.
The above advice is for the question "I haven’t noticed anything about the baby being yellow except for the first 24 hours after birth." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
