Patient's question:
Newborn at 45 days, went for vaccination and was told it's fine except for jaundice. Bought 10ml of Yinzhihuang, with 6 vials, and the instructions on the package say one vial is 10ml at a time. I feel the dosage might be a bit high. What is the recommended dosage? Besides taking it, should the baby avoid diarrhea? Can probiotics be taken together? Will it increase diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Baby at 45 days, apart from jaundice, it is confirmed to be pathological jaundice. There are many causes of jaundice. Pathological jaundice can reappear after 24 hours of birth, with no fixed peak period, and it does not subside even after 2 weeks, with jaundice levels potentially exceeding 204. It is generally seen in ① neonatal hemolysis, where the father has A or B blood type, and the mother is O type. ② breast milk jaundice. ③ reduced activity of glucuronidation transferase. ④ delayed passage of meconium.
