Patient's question:
As the title says, the baby developed jaundice around 3 days after birth. At 12 days, the jaundice index was measured at 275. That afternoon, the baby was taken to the hospital for blue light treatment. After 24 hours, all levels dropped, but after observing for 6 hours, they rose again to 200. What could be the reason for this? The doctor also mentioned that myocardial enzymes had risen. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the baby's jaundice is mainly caused by excessive internal damp-heat, which is related to the high temperature in the mother's womb.Suggestions: You can give the baby some Yinzhihuang Granules appropriately to clear heat and remove dampness. Additionally, the baby's mother can steep Chrysanthemum, Frangipani, and White Mulberry roots in water to drink as a substitute for tea, helping the baby eliminate jaundice through breast milk. The baby's mother should avoid spicy and fried foods.
