Patient's question:
The baby is now one month old. During the first half of the month, there was a case of high jaundice, and the doctor at the first hospital asked to stay in an incubator for a few days. Now, I don't want to take the baby to the hospital, and the jaundice seems to be getting higher again. I would like to consult about any traditional Chinese medicine formulas for jaundice for the baby.Doctor's answer:
Parents should not give medicine to children at will. It must be under medical advice. Use a small spoon to orally administer some traditional Chinese medicine to the child. For newborns who do not develop jaundice immediately after birth but only show jaundice around half a month old, it is all pathological jaundice. If the baby has jaundice, the skin on the face will turn yellow with a darker color. Some babies may also experience abdominal distension. It is recommended to follow the child's condition. If accompanied by poor mental state and poor feeding, hospitalization and active treatment are necessary.
