Does a newborn with excessively high levels of bilirubin affect intellectual development?

Patient's question:

The baby just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if high bilirubin levels in newborns can affect intellectual development.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it falls under physiological conditions. Generally, you can take Yinzhihuang Granules to regulate it. Maintain a diet that is easy to digest and absorb, and keep a good lifestyle. Exercise your body appropriately. The situation you described should be normal, as the digestive system of young children is not yet fully developed, making them prone to reflux after feeding. After feeding, you can pick up the child and gently pat their back to help them expel air from their stomach, which can reduce reflux.
