Question
My baby was born on February 10th and is just one day old. The jaundice level was above the standard when tested, and it rose even more by the next day. The baby’s blood type is B, which is not consistent with the mother’s O-type blood. Currently being treated in the hospital. I would like to get some help: I want to ask about the effectiveness of the treatment and the expected duration.
Answer
It is common for newborns to have pathological jaundice at birth, which is usually a normal phenomenon. For this condition, the baby should take Yin Zi Huang oral liquid to expel jaundice while monitoring the baby’s stool. If the stool turns green or black, it indicates an effective jaundice removal. If the jaundice level exceeds 16, hospitalization and blue light therapy may be necessary.
