Patient's question:
My daughter is 37 days old now and her face is very yellow. The doctor said it's due to high bilirubin. The doctor checked and found the bilirubin level to be over 14. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, which didn't work very well. What kind of help do you want: Could you please advise if you have any good methods? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Usually, jaundice reappears in infants 3-4 days after birth and disappears within 7-14 days. If an infant still has very severe jaundice after a month, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine how the bile ducts are blocked and whether there are any liver problems. However, physiological neonatal jaundice can also persist for up to one and a half months. If the infant is in good spirits and gaining weight, there is no need to worry even if there is some jaundice—continue feeding as usual.
