Question
My baby is about ten days old and I’ve noticed that their jaundice is much more severe than other babies. What are the important causes of neonatal jaundice?
Answer
Dear parents, neonatal jaundice is usually caused by hemolysis or breastfeeding reasons. Herbal oral liquid is the oral medication required for treating this condition. Generally, jaundice will gradually diminish and disappear within 3 to 4 weeks after birth. If it’s lactation-related jaundice, which often occurs in mixed feeding situations, no liver protection medication is needed for treatment. If it’s pathological jaundice, possibly hemolytic jaundice, etc., which may be related to blood type, timely treatment has little impact, but it needs to be treated as soon as possible.
