Patient's question:
Laboratory and examination results: The doctor said to wait and see for a while about the past treatment and its effectiveness: At West China Hospital, the child was given Yinzhi Huang oral liquid for seven days and improved significantly. After stopping the medication, the child turned yellow again, and the child appears to be doing well. What kind of help is desired: Is it a problem not to continue taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's jaundice has not subsided after one month, it is necessary to go to a local regular hospital for further tests, including blood bilirubin and a complete hepatitis panel, to determine the cause. If the levels are significantly high, it will be necessary to be hospitalized in a local regular hospital for blue light treatment and treatment with Gentian Yellow Granules. As long as it does not lead to bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus, there should not be a major problem.
