Question
My child just gave birth and I don’t know what’s going on, there are always red spots on his body, and he also vomits. What does a newborn jaundice index of 14 mean?
Answer
Considering that the child’s condition might be related to breastfeeding, it is recommended to continue taking medication and observe the situation. You can take some jaundice-reducing medicine and some traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as Yinzhu Huang Granules, and observe the situation. There is no major problem, so you can continue breastfeeding. In your case, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up. It might be caused by a disorder in gastrointestinal digestion function, and treatment with MamiAi (a digestive aid) may be needed to enhance nutrition and rest.
