Question
My baby is 7 days old and has jaundice. He is currently taking Barberry Yellow Granules, but after taking them, he has severe diarrhea, frequent urination, constant crying, and restless sleep.
Answer
Condition Analysis: Hello, when did your baby start showing signs of jaundice? Was it within the first 24 hours, or later? This is important to distinguish between pathological jaundice and physiological jaundice. Guidance: Hello, for the treatment of jaundice, Barberry Yellow Granules are generally used. As the name suggests, the main ingredients of this medicine are Barley straw, Forsythia, and Rhubarb. Rhubarb is the ingredient that causes diarrhea, which is why your baby is experiencing diarrhea. I suggest you take your child to a pediatrician to determine whether the jaundice is physiological or pathological and then decide on the treatment.
