Question
Can boiling Yìnchén to bathe in water reduce jaundice? Is this method effective for jaundice, can someone tell me?
Answer
The normal range of neonatal jaundice is measured by serum bilirubin levels, with full-term infants not exceeding 204μmol/L (12mg/dl) and premature infants not exceeding 255μmol/L (15mg/dl) being considered normal. Physiological jaundice in infants, besides skin discoloration, has little impact on appetite and spirit, and symptoms generally resolve automatically within a month. Pathological jaundice, however, not only involves skin changes but may also present symptoms such as crying and refusal to nurse. Parents should seek medical treatment promptly to avoid complications such as kernicterus.
