Patient's question:
My child has been born for 15 days. On the third day, jaundice reappeared, and it hasn't subsided yet. The yellowness on the face is quite noticeable, the sclera is yellow, and the teeth are yellow. The body isn't very yellow, the stool color is yellow, and the urine frequency is normal, with a light yellow color. If the jaundice in newborns is high and Yinzhihuang doesn't work well, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Newborns usually experience the most prominent jaundice around 7 days after birth. Now that the baby is 8 days old, it should be slightly elevated, but not exceeding 12.9. A baby with jaundice level not higher than 12.9 who has taken oral Gentian and Coptis granules without a significant increase in jaundice can continue to take the medication and carefully monitor the condition. At the same time, attention should be paid to increased feeding and monitoring of jaundice index data.There are many treatment methods for neonatal jaundice, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure targeted treatment.
