Patient's question:
Child born around 20 days noticed yellowing, with jaundice value at: 21.2, 24.8, 21. During medication treatment, jaundice values were checked continuously, and later it dropped to 10.What should I do if the child has for more than 20 days?
Doctor's answer:
20-day-old child has a jaundice index of 10, which is within the normal range. You can increase the dosage or pause medication. Breast milk jaundice tends to recur after fading, so it's recommended to take Yinzhihuang oral solution once with 2-3 ml. Generally, it's taken 2-3 times a day. It's advised to closely monitor for any other abnormal conditions and seek medical attention promptly if needed. In daily life, ensure the child gets sufficient hydration and digestion, and get more sun exposure. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
