Patient's question:
Baby is about to be discharged on the third day, but the jaundice value is still a bit high. The doctor prescribed Yinzhihuang oral liquid to take home and drink for three days, then bring the child back for a follow-up. Is it okay for newborn jaundice to drink Yinzhihuang?Doctor's answer:
The neonatal jaundice level is not too high, and drinking Yinzhihuang (a traditional Chinese medicine) is quite effective. Yinzhihuang is mainly good for feeding, but it may cause the child to have diarrhea, and the stool will be yellow. This might be because the jaundice is being excreted through the stool, which should be a good sign. If the child has too many bowel movements in a day, it's important to coordinate with probiotics to help regulate the intestines, as frequent diarrhea can be harmful to the gut. Pay close attention and take good care of the child, and go for follow-up checks promptly. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
