Patient's question:
My son had jaundice at 16.1 when he was a month old, and it has gradually decreased to 6.4 now. Is this normal? Will there still be any effects? He stopped breastfeeding for 15 days and is taking Yinzhihuang oral liquid.Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, the jaundice index of 6.4 is basically close to normal. The normal value is below 5, so there shouldn't be a significant problem. You can temporarily monitor the changes. You can take medication to treat jaundice and continue to check the jaundice index after taking it orally for 3 to 5 days to observe the child's condition. If there is no improvement, seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. Continue to monitor, and if there is a recurrence, you will need to go to the hospital again.
