Question
If a newborn develops jaundice within 24 hours of birth and the condition gradually subsides without medication, but it has not completely disappeared after more than three months, can the cause of the jaundice be determined from the liver function test report?
Answer
If a one-month-old newborn still has a high bilirubin level, it is recommended to take jaundice-lowering Chinese medicine such as Yinjie Huang Granules, and use probiotics in conjunction. When the weather is good, you can take the child outdoors to bask in the sun. If the situation does not improve, consider temporarily stopping breastfeeding for a week to observe the effect. These are suggestions for newborns who develop jaundice within 24 hours of birth and have not fully recovered. I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
