Patient's question:
Does jaundice in newborns in this situation cause cerebral palsy or other problems? The baby was born on September 28th, and at that time, the jaundice issue was not noticed. After discharge, the skin was still yellow, the gums were yellow, the cheeks were yellowish with a hint of red, but the baby was still eating relatively normally, with greenish stools. After taking Yinchen Granules for 6 days, there was no significant improvement. At 17 days, the liver function test results were as follows: Total bilirubin 157 umol/L, direct bilirubin 13.7 umol/L, indirect bilirubin 143.3 umol/L. Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were both in the 60s.Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Hello, based on the symptoms described, it is analyzed as pathological jaundice, which requires timely treatment. Prolonged jaundice can affect future intellectual development. You can go to the hospital to check the jaundice index and blood routine. If the values are elevated, phototherapy treatment is needed. If they are normal, you can take Yinzhihuang Granules orally and monitor the condition.
