Question

The newborn is 20 days old and has high jaundice levels. After taking one box of Yinzhi Huang, constipation has not improved, and the blood test indices have not decreased. The doctor has now prescribed another box of Yinzhi Huang, along with a complementary medication, Yueran Granules, but there is concern about potential drug interactions.

Answer

Yinzhi Huang is primarily used for jaundice relief and may cause increased constipation upon taking it, which is why the doctor has prescribed Yueran Granules to help alleviate constipation. If the jaundice relief is not apparent, it is recommended to consider phototherapy.
