Patient's question:
My cousin's child was born last night. But we noticed that the child's skin was a bit yellow when they left. The doctor said that the baby has jaundice. We are a bit worried. We want to ask, are there any folk remedies for newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
The jaundice of a full-term baby usually disappears within 2 weeks. The most important aspect is its impact on the brain. It is crucial to be vigilant about the occurrence of bilirubin encephalopathy. Currently, it is recommended that you be hospitalized for treatment. Home remedies for neonatal jaundice are unreliable. Generally, there are no such remedies. Neonatal jaundice is usually caused by prematurity or the accumulation of maternal bile secretion. If jaundice occurs, phototherapy is typically considered. If the jaundice level is less than 14, oral medications such as Yinzhihuang Granules and probiotics can be taken under the guidance of experts.
