Patient's question:
Why does a 4-day-old baby keep crying. Frequent bowel movements. The doctor asked to take Yinzhihuang Granules when discharged. Does it have anything to do with it?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, first consider it as physiological jaundice. As long as it is not severe, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is relatively severe or persists without resolving, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment. If there are no other complications, the symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, appropriately advancing feeding, providing sufficient water and energy, and promoting early passage of meconium to reduce enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can alleviate the severity of physiological jaundice. Wishing you good health!
