Patient's question:
The child is 26 days old, with very yellow skin, and has not sought medical attention. Suspected of having jaundice, breastfeeding started around three to four days after birth, but recently the stool has been slightly abnormal.Doctor's answer:
After the jaundiced baby takes jaundice-reducing medication, the stool appears dark yellow, which is normal. This is due to the effect of the medication and the excretion of jaundice, which can only be eliminated through the stool and urine. This indicates that the medication is effective for the baby. At the same time, it is recommended to have the baby drink more water, eat more probiotics, and take oral medication. The baby's stomach often makes gurgling sounds, so it is suggested that the mother gently massage the baby's stomach.Mothers should pay attention to their diet, but avoid eating raw and cold foods. However, it is important to eat when hungry and avoid fullness. Additionally, avoid drinking wine and consuming hot foods.
