Question
What should be done if a newborn still experiences jaundice symptoms when receiving the second dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine?
Answer
If a newborn develops jaundice on the third day after birth, it may be due to abnormal liver function, and the Hepatitis B vaccine should not be administered at this time. It is recommended to treat with medications such as Barberry, and arrange for the vaccination after the jaundice symptoms have subsided. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.
