Patient's question:
My child has recently experienced severe health issues again. He frequently feels abdominal pain and has a swollen stomach, sometimes even with a fever all over. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be jaundice. I want to give him oral Gentian and Coptis Rhizome, but is it suitable for newborns with jaundice?Doctor's answer:
For the current condition of the child, it is generally necessary to use Yinzhihuang Granules, which are primarily used for jaundice removal. It is recommended to give the child more water and food. This can help the child's jaundice to be eliminated. In clinical diagnosis, this condition is divided into two types: one with physiological jaundice and one with pathological jaundice. If jaundice persists after about a month of birth, it is considered pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice generally subsides within about a week.
