Patient's question:
A 15-day-old baby has a yellow complexion. Is it important to feed well? They are also in good spirits.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Underwent blue light treatment in pediatric department at 4 days old.
Desired assistance: Hope to get an answer.
Doctor's answer:
A child's jaundice usually fades within fifteen days after birth. If the child still appears yellow at 15 days, it should be considered pathological jaundice and active jaundice treatment is needed. If the child remains yellow after being exposed to blue light, the jaundice is quite severe. You can use Yinzhihuang Granules for jaundice treatment. Alternatively, you can expose the child to blue light for two or three more days. If the child is breastfed, you can temporarily stop breastfeeding for two or three days until the jaundice completely fades, but you do not need to stop all breastfeeding.
