Patient's question:
My sister's baby is just three days old, and his complexion is a bit yellow, and his eyes are also a bit yellow. The doctor said this is a symptom caused by neonatal jaundice, which is physiological and doesn't need to be worried about. Sunlight and some medication can help. My sister asked me to help ask if taking bifidobacteria is effective for neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
For newborns with jaundice, it is common in clinical diagnosis to distinguish between physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Generally, physiological jaundice gradually disappears two weeks after birth. During this period, you can coordinate with Yinzhihuang Granules for bile-stimulating and jaundice-reducing effects. Therefore, it is acceptable for your child to take this oral medication. Bifidobacteria have the effect of regulating the gastrointestinal flora, but they do not contribute to jaundice reduction. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits.
