Patient's question:
My grandson has been born for 4 days, and the jaundice looks quite severe. The doctor said it's pathological and recommended blue light treatment. However, I always feel that thing isn't particularly good for the child. I heard that Chinese medicine can also be used. I'd like to get some Chinese medicine for the baby to take. I want to ask if newborn jaundice can be treated with Chinese medicine.Doctor's answer:
Consider pathological jaundice, breast milk jaundice, blood type incompatibility, liver and biliary diseases, etc. This situation requires hospitalization. Oral antijaundice drugs and blue light irradiation are commonly used. Appropriately increase probiotics, adding more probiotics and sunlight can help the child get rid of the yellowing. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is also possible, but I suggest you communicate with the doctor in detail to see if it is suitable. Generally, blue light treatment for jaundice is effective and harmless to the child.
