Patient's question:
On the fourth day of birth, my baby at home already looked a bit yellow. Will taking some medicine help?Doctor's answer:
Baby turning yellow on the fourth day after birth is likely due to physiological jaundice. If the jaundice is not severe, you can drink sugar water. Sunlight can help reduce jaundice. Medication can treat jaundice, but it should not be used for infants with G6PD deficiency. Therefore, it's best to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Don't take medication blindly on your own. Drink some glucose water and wait a few more days. If you take it for three days, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up check.
