Patient's question:
My baby has a bit high jaundice, and he hasn't been drinking milk much these days. His stomach is also bloated, and it feels like he might have indigestion. I wonder if high jaundice in newborns can cause indigestion?Doctor's answer:
The answer to this question is possible. If the jaundice level is high, it is important to take the baby out in the sun, as it can help reduce jaundice. Additionally, if the baby's stool is green, it indicates indigestion. In such cases, medication or blue light therapy should be administered to the baby. It is essential to maintain a light diet to prevent the baby from getting overheated or constipated! I recommend that you communicate the child's condition in detail with the doctor to determine if medical intervention is necessary.
