Patient's question:
I just had a baby yesterday, and the baby has a bit of jaundice. Then my husband said that yinzhen is good for treating jaundice, so he wanted the baby to drink some of this yinzhen tea. But I'm afraid it might harm the baby, so I haven't dared to give it to the baby. Then I came here to ask, can newborns with jaundice have yinzhen?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, jaundice has appeared in the newborn. It is recommended to take the baby to the neonatal department of the local children's hospital as soon as possible to identify the cause of jaundice, test the bilirubin index, especially to rule out jaundice caused by incompatible hemolytic diseases, avoid bilirubin encephalopathy, and then provide targeted treatment. Blue light irradiation is an economical, safe, and effective treatment method. It is best not to give the baby medication randomly.
