Patient's question:
What should I do if a newborn has high jaundice that doesn't go down? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, jaundice is caused by an excessively high concentration of bilirubin in the blood, leading to visible jaundice in the skin and mucous membranes. Most newborns may experience varying degrees of jaundice. It is called physiological jaundice due to the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism in newborns, whereas pathological jaundice has a higher index and appears earlier. Specific advice is to visit a hospital for examination. Under medical advice, you can give the child Yinzhihuang Granules, one gram per dose, three times a day, mixed with boiling water. It helps reduce jaundice and lower ALT levels, with good effects in clearing heat, detoxifying, and promoting diuresis to alleviate jaundice. Mpy
