What medicine should a newborn with jaundice eat?

Patient's question:

My child was just born. My daughter is three days old and has developed jaundice. What medicine is good for neonatal jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal jaundice must be treated promptly, otherwise the baby's weak immunity makes it easy to develop other diseases. The occurrence of neonatal jaundice is mainly related to the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism, the immature liver function of newborns, and the ability of liver cells to extract bilirubin. Physiological jaundice does not require special treatment. If severe pathological jaundice occurs, professional treatment is needed, and blue light therapy is often used. Oral anti-jaundice drugs include traditional Chinese medicine Yin Zhi Huang Granules and probiotics. A few of them are ineffective and may cause diarrhea. The latter is an auxiliary anti-jaundice drug.
