Question
Why is a newborn’s face and corner of the eyes yellow, and what are the solutions?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice may be caused by an excess of dampness and heat in the body, which can usually be improved through dietary adjustments and medication. It is recommended to give the baby Bupleurum and Scutellaria granules, and for the mother to drink a decoction of Bupleurum, Forsythia, and White Root, to help the baby expel jaundice. The mother should avoid spicy and fried foods.
