Patient's question:
The baby has just arrived in the world, but the skin is very yellow, especially on the hands and feet. After asking, I learned that this is considered baby jaundice and is said to naturally subside in a few days. It has been 5 days already, but it feels like the skin is even yellower. May I ask if Huang Qi Zi can help with infant jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not advisable to go to an infant jaundice clinic. It is likely caused by bilirubin. Jaundice can be either pathological or physiological. Pathological jaundice typically appears within 72 hours and does not subside, while physiological jaundice usually resolves within 5 to 7 days. There is a certain treatment available. It is best to take the child to a hospital in a timely manner to measure the jaundice level and then use medication based on the specific condition.
