Patient's question:
Doctor. There is a question. I couldn't sleep all night last night. The baby is still under one year old, but he has jaundice. I am very anxious. Today I came hoping the doctor could give me some advice. What is most effective for jaundice in newborns to eat?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, approximately 80% of newborns develop normal physiological jaundice after birth. Generally speaking, it begins to peak within two to three days. It reaches its peak within three to four days. It starts to gradually subside around a week. It usually subsides around two weeks. As long as the baby is in good spirits, the jaundice is within the normal range. Let the baby get more sun exposure. Oral administration of Yinzhi Huang Granules may be necessary if needed. If the jaundice gradually deepens and persists or exceeds the normal range, accompanied by symptoms such as poor mental state, insufficient milk intake, convulsions, and spasms, phototherapy is necessary. This is primarily to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy. Symptomatic treatment with albumin and immunoglobulins may be required if necessary.
