Patient's question:
My baby was born not long ago, and their skin has been a bit yellow, with slight jaundice on their face. The doctor said it's common for newborns to have this and told us not to worry too much. However, over the past couple of days, the baby hasn't been drinking milk much and seems a bit restless. I want to ask how to deal with jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Jaundice occurs in every newborn baby. As long as the bilirubin level is within the physiological range and does not exceed it, normal full-term newborns will recover within 5-7 days, with the latest not exceeding 2 weeks. The baby is not eating well. Oral probiotics can regulate intestinal flora and promote appetite on one hand, while on the other hand, they can reduce enterohepatic circulation and promote bilirubin excretion, thereby helping to reduce jaundice.
