Patient's question:
Is it normal for a newborn with high bilirubin levels to not fully recover after treatment with Gan Gong therapy? Will it still take some time for the baby to metabolize the blood previously transfused into their body and produce their own blood before it becomes normal?Doctor's answer:
The baby's jaundice is mainly caused by excessive internal damp-heat, which is related to the high temperature in the womb. Suggestions: You can give the baby some Yinzhihuang Granules appropriately to clear heat and remove dampness. Additionally, the baby's mother can steep Chrysanthemum, Fructus Gardeniae, and Radix Koelreuteriae in water to drink as a substitute for tea, helping the baby get rid of jaundice through breastfeeding. The baby's mother should avoid spicy and fried foods. The above advice is for the question "Newborn with high bilirubin levels after discharge still not normal?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
