Question
The newborn has been born for 12 days, but the skin and white of the eyes still appear yellow. Parents inquire whether this condition is normal and if there is a possibility of leaving behind complications.
Answer
Based on the description, the child has received appropriate treatment and follow-up checks, which show no abnormalities, so parents do not need to be overly concerned. The newborn’s examination results are normal, with no signs of ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy, and it is expected that there will be no complications. Although neonatal pneumonia is a serious disease, if diagnosed as neonatal jaundice, appropriate treatment should be administered. If it is caused by damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, the use of Yinzhi Huang granules for treatment can be considered.
