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 known as neonatal jaundice, and it is said to naturally subside in a few days. It has been 5 days already, but it feels like the skin is even yellower. Could you please tell me if Huang Qi Zi can help with infantile jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is not advisable to go to an infant with jaundice. It is most likely caused by bilirubin. Jaundice is divided into pathological and physiological types. Pathological jaundice usually appears within 72 hours and does not subside. If it is physiological, it typically resolves within 5 to 7 days. There is a certain treatment. It is best to take the child to a hospital in a timely manner to measure the jaundice. Medication should be used based on the specific condition.
