Patient's question:
I would like to ask for some advice. My baby had jaundice right after birth. The doctor said it was normal and it would fade away after some time. But now that my baby is a full month old, the jaundice hasn't completely faded. Should I consider treatment? I've heard about some kind of light therapy, and other methods as well.Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the child's jaundice has not subsided after 20 days, it is necessary to visit the internal medicine department of the hospital for examination. I will introduce a dietary therapy for jaundice for you. I hope it helps.Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum), and (frog). Boil the frog with its skin removed and cleaned, and add salt to season the soup. Drink the soup and eat the meat. This is suitable for yin jaundice.
The of neonatal jaundice requires a process. Some may persist for a longer duration, exceeding one month. Under normal circumstances, physiological jaundice usually subsides within half a month.
You need to assess the specific degree of jaundice first. If the jaundice is not severe, you can temporarily wait and see. As long as it gradually subsides, that is fine.
