Patient's question:
The girl has been 18 days old, and the jaundice test dropped to around 8.0, with a reading of 12.3 the day before yesterday. The day before, she started crying and fussing from noon until midnight, and then she stopped crying and fussing. Drinking and feeding are both normal, and there are no abnormalities in the body temperature measurements. Can high neonatal jaundice cause the child to cry and fuss?Doctor's answer:
Your child may still have jaundice, and crying may also be abnormal. You can give the children some heat-reducing and dampness-dispelling granules. Additionally, mothers can use bupleurum, gardenia, or white root of polygonum to brew tea as a substitute for drinking and help the child get rid of jaundice through breastfeeding. Some children and mothers do not need to taste spicy or fried foods. It is recommended that the child's condition be reviewed regularly, and then treated for the child according to the doctor's advice.
