Patient's question:
Female, 2 years pregnant, 362 days gestation, premature infant. Jaundice level 13, reduced to 7 after taking Yin Chen Granules. It rebounded to 8 after stopping the medication. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
One possibility may be related to medication discontinuation. Premature infants have not yet developed high decomposition metabolism capabilities for jaundice, which can cause it to rise. Another possibility is related to breastfeeding if the infant is breastfed. However, the current jaundice level of 8 is not high, and it is only necessary to retest after about 3 days.
