Patient's question:
The newborn's face is yellow, but their hands and feet are not. The sclera has been yellow for 8 days. How should the treatment be continued for a newborn with jaundice who is 23 days old?Doctor's answer:
A 23-day-old baby with jaundice may still have pathological jaundice. Based on the skin measurement of bilirubin levels, the current jaundice is relatively severe. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a doctor to diagnose the condition based on symptoms. If necessary, blood tests and serum bilirubin tests may be required. Enshi Huang can be used specifically for treatment. Probiotics or Changlekang can be used together to adjust the intestinal flora, which is beneficial for stabilizing the baby's digestion and absorption.
