Patient's question:
Newborn at 15 days old, stopped the jaundice-reducing medication 10 days ago, but the child is still having 5-6 bowel movements daily, and the stool is not formed, leaning towards yellowish-green. Additionally, the child has eczema on the cheeks. I don’t know what’s going on. I hope the pediatrician in the newborn department can tell me! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Many parents have this experience that taking yellow jaundice-reducing medicine can cause their children to have diarrhea. After stopping the medicine, the diarrhea will stop unusually. As you mentioned, if you have yellow stools five to six times a day, it should be nausea and vomiting. You can follow the treatment for nausea and vomiting to implement a systematic approach. The eczema on the face is mostly caused by sweat and milk washing, so it is important to keep it cool and dry at all times. The above suggestions are for the question "Newborn stopped yellow jaundice medicine for 15 days and has been off for 10 days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
