Newborn jaundice has reappeared? Don't know what to do

Patient's question:

Yesterday I gave the baby a bath and noticed that the baby's skin seemed to turn yellow. I've also heard from others that children can develop jaundice, some good and some bad. I'm very worried. Please ask: Has neonatal jaundice reappeared? I don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

The newborn jaundice has been present for a month since birth. The jaundice appeared on the fourth day of birth, and after taking Yinwei Huang granules for three to five days, the jaundice returned after stopping the medication. It is necessary to take the medication attentively, and blue light therapy may be required if necessary.
Medical Advice:
- It is recommended to increase fluid intake and maintain regular bowel movements.
- Carefully monitor the skin and sclera color, and have liver function tests every two weeks.
- Do not stop the medication until the jaundice has fully resolved.
Additionally, for newborn jaundice patients, diet and care during treatment are also important. Rest is essential, and light activity can be appropriate to avoid unnecessary harm. We hope the above advice will help you. Thank you.
