Question
The baby was born a month ago and the doctor said the bilirubin level was over 14 on the fourth day after birth. After taking Yinzhu Huang granules for three or five days, the jaundice subsided and the medication was stopped. When can the baby be discharged from the hospital after being admitted for 8 days due to high newborn jaundice?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby is experiencing newborn jaundice again and requires timely jaundice treatment. The current situation still requires focused treatment, and generally, treatment should continue until the jaundice is completely resolved. At present, immediate phototherapy can be considered, along with the use of Yinzhu Huang and probiotics for nourishment. In the face of the dangers of newborn jaundice, we should actively take treatment measures and not delay medical consultation. If newborn jaundice does not show significant improvement after a long time of treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
