Patient's question:
Did your sister's baby just be born? How long has it been? They found that the baby has high jaundice. The neighbors said that it can be improved by bathing with ginger water. We're not sure. Can newborn jaundice be treated by bathing with ginger water?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, clinically including pathological jaundice, physiological jaundice, and breast milk jaundice, only pathological jaundice can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, irreversible brain damage, pathological jaundice requires blue light irradiation and symptomatic drug treatment, physiological jaundice and breast milk jaundice. No medication is required. Infant jaundice, requires a detailed examination of the newborn to confirm the diagnosis, and when deciding whether treatment is needed, simple ginger bath has no therapeutic effect.
