Question

The baby started showing jaundice on the second day after birth, and it has not subsided even after a month. Treatment with Yin Qie Huang medicine prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine has been administered, but the child has experienced discomfort. Ask about methods to accelerate the jaundice regression or alternative medications.

Answer

If the jaundice does not regress on its own, pathological jaundice may be considered, and treatment with a combination of traditional Chinese medicine Yin Qie Huang and blue light therapy can be attempted. It is recommended to take the child to the doctor immediately for a diagnosis and symptomatic treatment, and to pay attention to the child’s condition changes to help them recover as soon as possible.
