Question

How should a one-month-old baby take a medication containing 0.1g of Vitamin C? The baby has jaundice and the doctor’s prescription includes 0.1g of Vitamin C, but the parent forgot how many times a day the baby should be fed this medication.

Answer

For a one-month-old baby with jaundice, it is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The baby can take one dose of the 0.1g Vitamin C tablet per day, ideally between meals. Additionally, the baby can be given some glucose water and probiotics. During treatment, it is suggested to temporarily stop breastfeeding for three days to observe the jaundice condition. Moreover, if the jaundice index is high, consider using oral medications like Yin Huang liquid to reduce the jaundice. On sunny days, it is appropriate to expose the baby to sunlight for a period of time.
