Patient's question:
The baby's jaundice appeared on the sixth day of birth and was a bit high, but it did not exceed 12. In the past few days, we have been giving the baby Yinaihuang Granules. However, on the tenth day of birth, when we went to the hospital to check the jaundice, the reading was over 15. Is this condition physiological for the baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborn jaundice first needs to consider is physiological jaundice, as long as it is not serious, most of them can disappear completely within two weeks. If jaundice is severe or persists without other complications, hospital treatment is required. The symptoms you mentioned should be physiological jaundice. Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm. Proper early feeding to provide sufficient water and heat energy, early defecation can reduce the intestinal and liver circulation of bilirubin, which can reduce the degree of physiological jaundice. Wish you health! Bias wish the baby healthy.
