Patient's question:
My child is now 42 days old, and their jaundice index is 10. The hospital prescribed medication for me, but they didn't give me Montmorillonite. I am currently taking Montmorillonite with Yinzhihuang. Is it okay to take them together?History of previous treatment and effectiveness: None
What help do you expect?
Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is usually a physiological process that occurs after 2-3 days of birth, peaks on the 4-5th day, and subsides within about 2 weeks. The essence of jaundice is elevated bilirubin in the blood. Physiological jaundice does not require intervention, while pathological jaundice may need treatment. Intensive feeding, sufficient calorie and fluid intake, as well as frequent bowel movements and urination, all help to alleviate jaundice. Blue light exposure is a fast and effective method for treating jaundice, requiring hospitalization.
