Patient's question:
Does boiling Artemisia scoparia in water for a bath help remove jaundice? Is this method effective for jaundice? Can anyone share their experience with this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the normal value for neonatal jaundice is based on the reference index of serum bilirubin. As long as full-term infants do not exceed 204 μmol/L (12 mg/dL) and preterm infants do not exceed 255 μmol/L (15 mg/dL), it is considered normal.Children with physiological jaundice, in addition to yellowing of the skin, do not have significant effects on appetite or mental state, and the symptoms usually subside on their own within one month.
Children with pathological jaundice not only have skin changes but also typically cry, fuss, and refuse to feed. In such cases, parents must take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it may lead to kernicterus.
