Patient's question:
Baby developed jaundice again 3 days after birth, and it hasn't fully subsided yet. Can newborns with jaundice take probiotics?Doctor's answer:
The baby has jaundice, which can be physiological as well as pathological. Probiotics are not a medicine to reduce jaundice; they are used to regulate the intestines. This is because using jaundice-reducing medicine can easily cause nausea and vomiting, so probiotics are used to regulate the intestines. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby and try to let the baby eat more milk, as more metabolism can help reduce jaundice. Probiotics are used to regulate the intestines and do not reduce jaundice. You can take some traditional Chinese medicine appropriately to improve immunity. When facing illness, it is important to treat it with a calm mind, exercise regularly, and participate more in outdoor activities.
