How to deal with jaundice in a 56-day-old baby?

Patient's question:

Baby is 56 days old. She had jaundice before, and previously took Yinzhihuang, but her jaundice level is still 16. When breastfeeding was stopped for 2 days, it dropped significantly, and it improved a lot afterward. But now her is very yellow again. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Dear, based on your description, it is considered that the baby has breast milk jaundice. If the baby's spirit, feeding, and other aspects are normal, it can be temporarily carefully observed. Because the baby's jaundice duration is relatively long, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis of the cause. If the diagnosis is breast milk jaundice, oral jaundice-reducing drugs can be taken, such as Yinzhihuang. In addition to probiotics or Brachyspira, these are also effective. The above is the suggestion for this problem, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you health!
