Patient's question:
My daughter was born on April 23rd. My mother has high bile acid levels. She just had a C-section at 37 weeks. She developed jaundice on the fourth day after birth. She underwent blue light treatment for two days. She was discharged when she was just one.Doctor's answer:
Jaundice is generally classified into Yin jaundice and Yang jaundice in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Yang jaundice is caused by heat-toxin and excessive pathogens. Its yellow and orange hue is bright. Yin jaundice is caused by cold and dampness. Its yellow hue is dull. However, clinical findings have shown that only Yin jaundice and Yang jaundice cannot fully reflect the complexity of the disease. Therefore, clinical jaundice in children is generally divided into four types: damp-heat type, toxic-heat type, stasis type, and spleen-dampness type.Damp-heat jaundice is seen in children with bright yellow and dry skin. It is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, restlessness, crying, thirst, vomiting, yellow urine, and constipation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for proper diagnosis.
