Patient's question:
Hello, my baby is 24 days old today, but his face is quite yellow, and there's a bit of yellowing around his eyes. The baby is eating and pooping normally, and otherwise, everything is fine.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I consulted a doctor, who gave the baby 50% glucose to drink, but it hasn't improved yet.
What kind of help is needed:
Why is the baby's face and eye corners yellow, and what should be done to fix it?
Doctor's answer:
The baby's jaundice is mainly caused by excessive internal damp-heat, which is related to high temperature in the womb... You can give the baby some Yinzhihuang Granules appropriately to clear heat and reduce dampness. Additionally, the baby's mother can steep Chrysanthemum, Fructus Gardeniae, and Radix Imperatae in water to drink as a substitute for tea, helping the baby get rid of jaundice through breast milk. The baby's mother should avoid spicy and fried foods.This is the advice for the question "A newborn who is 20 days old has a yellow face and slightly yellow eyes—what should be done?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
