Is probiotics effective for newborn jaundice?

Patient's question:

My son has been born for three days. Today, the doctor checked his jaundice. The doctor asked us to expose him to blue light, but my cousin said that nine out of ten babies are yellow, her son also had jaundice and it improved after taking probiotics. Hello, is it effective for newborn jaundice to take probiotics?

Doctor's answer:

Probiotics are medications for regulating children's gastrointestinal health. If a child experiences jaundice again, they can take Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid for treatment. Encourage the child to drink more water to increase urination frequency and promote metabolic decomposition. If the child is still breastfeeding, it may be decided to stop breastfeeding for 1-2 days. The mother should also pay attention to her diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods.
