Question

My baby has breastfeeding jaundice. Does it require weaning? The throat is red and swollen, and the baby has recently had a decrease in appetite and poor sleep quality. I am asking whether it is okay to use the medication prescribed by the doctor, as the label indicates it is for use above the age of two, and my baby is only 44 days old.

Answer

The baby’s throat is red and swollen, which may indicate a contagious condition. It is recommended to check routine blood test (blood routine) for a diagnosis and to take medication as instructed by the doctor. Follow the prescribed dosage and frequency of the medication. Observe for two days; if there is no improvement, it is advisable to visit the doctor again as soon as possible.
