Patient's question:
Boil the lotus flower cup (excluding the lotus seeds, only the outer cup) for water, which is beneficial for newborn jaundice, preventing it from being too high or staying within the normal range. I searched online and found it helps expel fetal toxins. Is this true? Is jaundice a result of fetal toxins? Also, my husband and I are both Type O blood. Could the baby experience hemolysis?Medical History and Treatment Effects:

Please provide guidance.
Doctor's answer:
The lotus fruit can treat blood stasis abdominal pain, strengthen the spleen, and stop diarrhea. It can be taken appropriately after pregnancy, but it is not advisable to consume too much. You can try eating it two or three times, with each serving being 200 milliliters. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for regular prenatal check-ups on time and pay attention to fetal movement. Fetal toxicity is actually the effect of fetal metabolic waste on the mother as the child grows and develops. In your case, paying attention to a regular diet is sufficient. Nowadays, it is generally not necessary to use herbs to clear heat, mainly by eating more vegetables and fruits to avoid constipation.
