Question
Is it effective to give newborns bifidobacteria for jaundice?
Answer
Bifidobacteria are mainly used to regulate gastrointestinal flora, and they do not have a direct effect on treating newborn jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually resolves on its own, while pathological jaundice requires treatment based on the underlying cause. Doctors recommend taking Astragalus and Codonopsis granules to help with diuresis and jaundice reduction, and supplemented with sunlight exposure. In addition, maintaining good living habits is also necessary.
