Question
My newborn baby was diagnosed with jaundice on the third day after birth. Do newborns with jaundice need treatment?
Answer
Most newborn jaundice is physiological jaundice, a special physiological phenomenon during the neonatal period. As the saying goes, “Moon crescent jaundice” usually does not require special treatment. It is recommended to drink more water and consume some glucose water to promote excretion. Consider taking Yinhuang Granules for treatment. If the jaundice persists and increases, hospital blue light therapy should be sought. Regular check-ups are also necessary to observe the progress of the jaundice treatment.
