Patient's question:
Female, 25 years old, has just given birth to a child, and has discovered that the child has jaundice. Please ask: What medicine can be taken to treat jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Baby jaundice can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice, and it is further classified as mild, moderate, or severe. As long as the baby is in good spirits and feeding well, oral Yinzhihuang Granules can be administered. It is essential to ensure the baby gets plenty of sunlight exposure. The key is to closely monitor the baby's mental state. If the baby's mental condition and feeding worsen again, phototherapy should be initiated. This is primarily to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle and adhere to treatment consistently.
