Question

What causes newborn mild jaundice?

Answer

Based on your description, the possibility of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns is considered relatively high. It is suggested to use decoctions of magnolia bark, plantain seed, wolfberry, safflower, salvia miltiorrhiza, red peony root, rhubarb, wild chrysanthemum, and Yunzhi polysaccharide for treatment, which has been shown to be effective. Consider trying traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of diet, avoid spicy foods, maintain emotional stability, and ensure smooth bowel movements. Avoid fussy eating and excessive snacking to prevent the condition from worsening.
