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. What should I do if newborn jaundice with Yinzhihuang causes severe dehydration?Doctor's answer:
According to the baby's condition you mentioned above, the baby is severely dehydrated and has electrolyte imbalances, which are likely related to feeding. It is recommended to combine this with oral gentian and coptis root decoction, considering the baby's feeding situation. If the baby is feeding normally and has a good spirit, temporary appropriate fluid supplementation and correction of electrolyte imbalances can be given, with close observation. For patients with severe neonatal jaundice, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of neonatal jaundice. In addition, patients should also pay attention to their own diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
