Patient's question:
My child was born a month ago, and he still has jaundice. I have been boiling the fruit of Rehmannia glutinosa to bathe him for the past few days, but it hasn't worked. Is there any way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's jaundice needs further examination to determine whether it is physiological or pathological. The symptoms you mentioned should be distinguished, and the diagnosis should be based on bilirubin levels. Blood transfusion is not necessarily required; this depends on the progression of jaundice. If it is physiological jaundice, drinking more water can help it gradually subside. In severe cases, you can take jaundice-reducing medication. If the jaundice level is too high, it can cause brain cell damage, even irreversible damage. It is recommended to actively investigate the cause of jaundice while undergoing blue light therapy, and then decide on the treatment method after identifying the cause.
