Question
Can jaundice in newborns be treated by drinking water infused with yellow peach seeds?
Answer
Jaundice is a common symptom in newborns, usually caused by an accumulation of excessive bilirubin in the blood. For infants with sickle cell disease, it is advisable to avoid using yellow peach seeds as they may trigger hemolytic reactions. The preferred method for treating jaundice is phototherapy, or the use of medications such as arctiin. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a follow-up visit and follow the doctor’s professional advice.
