Question
The newborn’s bilirubin level is 16.3 on the 6th day after birth. I would like to ask if it’s possible to take Yinzhu Huang oral liquid, and whether breastfeeding would have any impact. Since I don’t want to undergo phototherapy, are there any other solutions?
Answer
On the 6th day after birth, the newborn’s bilirubin level remains above 12.9, which is pathological jaundice and requires treatment intervention. It is recommended to use Yinzhu Huang oral liquid and probiotics for treatment, but the best therapy is still phototherapy. Breast milk jaundice is generally not considered for newborns a few days old, and phototherapy treatment is suggested.
