Question
What medications should be used to treat neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice is a common symptom, related to the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism, immature liver function in neonates, and the ability of liver cells to extract bilirubin. Physiological jaundice usually does not require special treatment, while pathological jaundice requires professional medical intervention. In severe cases of pathological jaundice, blue light therapy is often used. Oral medications such as Chinese patent medicine Yinzhuang Huang Granules and probiotics can be used for auxiliary treatment, but attention should be paid to the fact that some medications may be ineffective and cause diarrhea. These oral medications are mainly used as auxiliary anti-jaundice drugs.
