Patient's question:
A newborn with jaundice for 30 days, please ask if drinking Chong Chen water is effective for jaundice in newborns for 30 days, and whether it is necessary to go to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
If the baby has mild jaundice, it is hoped that they can drink Chong Chen water, which primarily helps to reduce jaundice. The key is to find the cause for the baby and provide symptomatic treatment. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotics such as cephalosporins should be used, and the medication should be taken for at least a week. If it is caused by a viral infection, ganciclovir should be used. For cytomegalovirus infection, two to three courses of treatment are needed. If the jaundice is due to breastfeeding, breastfeeding should be stopped for three days.
