Patient's question:
Baby is 17 days old, has jaundice, and has been eating Yinzhihuang and probiotics at home without diarrhea, only passing smelly gas. Breastfeeding is minimal, mostly formula feeding. What should I do? Also, how much probiotics should a baby this small take at one time?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children who are bottle-fed are prone to experiencing more foul-smelling flatulence. If there is jaundice, it can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. For children under 2 years old, take 1 bag at a time, 1 to 2 times a day; for children over 2 years old, take 1 to 2 bags at a time, 1 to 2 times a day. It can be taken with warm water or milk below 40°C, or it can also be taken directly. Probiotics, Yinzhihuang Granules, should be taken exclusively for treatment.
