Question
After the neonate experienced jaundice, the condition improved after being observed by a doctor and treated with Yinjiu Huang Oral Liquid. However, the jaundice recurred after stopping the medication and has persisted for a month without any signs of fading. The baby currently appears normal. Is it necessary to continue medication treatment?
Answer
If a neonate’s jaundice has not disappeared after a month, it is recommended to go to a local regular hospital for blood bilirubin and complete hepatitis panel tests to determine the cause of the jaundice. If the test results show significantly high bilirubin levels, it is necessary to receive blue light therapy at the hospital and consider using Yinzie Granules. As long as bilirubin brain disease or kernicterus is not caused, there are usually no major complications.
