Patient's question:
The baby has had jaundice since birth. On the sixth day, they started taking Yinzhihuang. They stopped after about ten days. The weather was good, so they were exposed to sunlight, but the face remained slightly yellow. They went to the hospital twice, and the results were around 10 each time. The doctor advised continued sun exposure, but now at forty days, the eyebrows and nose bridge are still yellow.Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it is suspected that the 40-day-old baby still has jaundice, and the initial consideration is that it may be breast milk jaundice. This condition is recommended to stop breastfeeding for three days and focus on taking Yinzhihuang oral liquid while also taking Mimi Ai. Carefully observe the complete recovery of jaundice. After a period of time, you can re-monitor the jaundice index. It is necessary to have blood tests at the hospital to check liver function, thyroid function, cytomegalovirus, and rule out conditions such as G6PD deficiency, bile stasis, and biliary obstruction. Can we rule out any common infections?
