Patient's question:
My wife recently gave birth to a baby and stayed in the hospital for a while. She noticed that the baby had some signs of jaundice. She heard that moxibustion can help with jaundice. Could you please tell me how to moxibustion for a baby with jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, infants have jaundice, and moxibustion has no effect on jaundice. Be careful and kind, red pigments clear jaundice. If jaundice exceeds the normal range, a series of tests such as bile function tests are also needed to identify the cause of jaundice. Regardless of the reason for elevated indirect bilirubin, the first step is blue light therapy, because bilirubin is neurotoxic to infants, so we must treat it actively.
