Patient's question:
Born on the third day, the skin yellowing has reappeared. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taking enzyme inducers: commonly phenobarbital. What kind of assistance is needed: Drinking sugar water, should it be brown sugar or white sugar, and how much should be drunk daily?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is something that most babies have when they are born. It's recommended to expose the baby to sunlight for one to two hours each day, ensuring good ventilation but avoiding strong winds. Carefully observe the baby's urine for any yellow discoloration. If it is yellow, give the baby a small amount of water to drink. In fact, about 80% of breast milk is water, but it's crucial not to overfeed the baby with water. Their kidneys are not fully developed, and drinking too much water can make them sick.Advice: You can visit the hospital to get medication for treating jaundice. It's not a serious concern if a child has jaundice. My child also had jaundice, and it took two months to clear up.
