Patient's question:
A newborn reappeared with jaundice after two days, with jaundice visible on the face, sclera, and body. On the third day, they went to the maternal and child health hospital for testing, where the jaundice level was measured to be 13.9-16.0. That day, the doctor prescribed Bifidobacterium bifidum powder and glucose powder, and asked them to buy Yinqianhuang from a pharmacy (saying their hospital didn't have this medication). From noon that day to 5 PM today, they followed the medication instructions and doctor's advice, but the baby's jaundice symptoms on the face, sclera, and body showed no significant change.Hello, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
A newborn may develop jaundice again a few days after birth. You can drink glucose water to help alleviate it. You can also use traditional Chinese medicine, which is quite effective. It usually fades on its own within about two weeks. If it hasn't subsided after two weeks, it's recommended to check in with the pediatric department of the hospital to monitor the jaundice levels. If the levels are still within the normal range, you can focus on drinking water and getting sunlight exposure. If the levels are not normal, it's more serious and may require hospitalization for blue light treatment.
