Patient's question:
My child has been born for 15 days. On the third day, jaundice reappeared and has not subsided yet. The yellowness on the face is quite noticeable, the sclera is yellow, and the teeth are yellow. The body is not very yellow, the stool color is yellow, and the urine frequency is normal with a light yellow color. Please ask how to treat high jaundice in newborns.Doctor's answer:
Most newborns experience jaundice again 2 to 3 days after birth, with the peak not exceeding the 5th day. If jaundice reappears after 5 days, it should be considered pathological. Moreover, jaundice is most prominent around the 4th to 5th day, and it generally subsides between 10 to 14 days after birth. Physiological jaundice is usually mild and does not accompany other discomfort symptoms. You can try bathing with 20g each of Bupleurum, Gardenia, Rhubarb, and, decocted in water.Additionally, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. It is essential to pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you.
