Question
The baby has jaundice, and the doctor has prescribed medicine, but the child is too young to like drinking. Can the condition be improved by drinking more water?
Answer
Drinking more water or appropriately using jaundice-relieving traditional Chinese medicine internally can also gradually improve the condition. For physiological jaundice, the child’s skin may turn yellow, but there is no significant impact on appetite and spirit, and the symptoms generally disappear completely within a month. For pathological jaundice, the child not only has yellow skin but also may have symptoms like crying and fussiness. In such cases, parents must take their child to the hospital as soon as possible to understand and receive treatment. Wishing the patient a quick recovery!
