Patient's question:
Hello, the baby in the doctor's family has just been born. The doctor said the child has jaundice and prescribed many jaundice treatments. However, the child is too young and doesn't like to drink it. It is said that more water can be drunk. I would like to consult if newborn jaundice needs to drink more water?Doctor's answer:
Drinking more water or appropriately using yellow-dyeing Chinese herbal medicine internally can also gradually disappear. Children with physiological jaundice, in addition to the yellowing of the skin, do not have much interference in appetite and spirit, and the symptoms usually disappear completely on their own within one month. Children with pathological jaundice not only have skin changes but also cry and fuss. In this case, parents must take their children to the hospital as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
