Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask that when the baby is 6 days old, his jaundice level is 16.3. Can he be given Yinzhihuang? Does breastfeeding have any relation? I don't want to use blue light. Is there any other solution besides this?Doctor's answer:
The baby has jaundice six days after birth, with a level greater than 12.9, indicating pathological jaundice, which requires treatment intervention! Recommendation: The current jaundice level is 16 mg/dL, and oral medication can be administered, typically Yinzhihuang oral liquid and probiotics. However, the best treatment method is phototherapy! Jaundice in newborns within a few days of birth is not considered breast milk jaundice; it is usually only considered if it reappears after more than seven days.
