Patient's question:
Our child has been born for two months, but the jaundice has not subsided. The child's face has been particularly yellow. I would like to ask what kind of medicine is good for infant jaundice. Is it safe to give such medicine to such a young child? Please answer this question for us, pediatric experts.Doctor's answer:
If the infant is over two months old, jaundice will continue to subside. This situation should be considered as breast milk jaundice or other infections, otherwise it may be biliary atresia or liver damage. The key is to identify the cause of the infant's illness and provide symptomatic treatment. If the jaundice is mild, the infant is in good spirits, and all tests are normal. This condition is considered to be breast milk jaundice. It can be stopped for two to three days, or the yellow particles can be taken orally for about five days. Of course, such a young infant can be fed for at least three to five days, while also exposing the infant to more sunlight. In severe cases, blue light exposure is also required.
