Patient's question:
My baby was just born. When she was in my belly, every time we did a color ultrasound, everything was normal. But after she was born, the baby was very yellow, and they said it was jaundice. In the past two days, her digestion has been particularly bad, and the doctor said to give her some probiotics. Can newborns with jaundice eat probiotics?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice occurs 2-3 days after a baby is born, known as physiological jaundice, which is related to abnormal bilirubin metabolism in infants after birth. This is normal. Almost every baby will experience it. There is no need to worry. If the baby has indigestion at this time, oral probiotics can be taken to promote digestion and metabolism. Jaundice will gradually return to normal during the normal metabolic process, so newborn jaundice can take probiotics.
