Question
The baby developed jaundice on the sixth day after birth, and the level remained high after taking Yinzhui Huang Granules. Is this condition physiological jaundice?
Answer
The first consideration for newborn jaundice is physiological jaundice, and in most cases, as long as it is not severe, jaundice will disappear on its own within two weeks. If the jaundice is severe or persists, and no other diseases are present, hospitalization may be required. Based on the symptoms you described, the jaundice your baby is experiencing should be physiological jaundice. Please ensure that the baby is kept warm and fed on time to ensure adequate water and heat supply. Early defecation can help reduce the accumulation of bilirubin in the intestines and liver, thereby alleviating the severity of physiological jaundice. Wishing you health! And also wishing the baby good health.
