Question
What should I do if my child is still jaundiced at 15 days old?
Answer
Hello, it’s advisable to have the child’s serum bilirubin levels checked at the hospital. If the levels are high, medication may be required to lower them, such as the use of oral preparations like Yinzi Huang. Additionally, consider temporarily stopping breastfeeding for 3 to 5 days to see if there is any improvement. If the jaundice is due to breastfeeding, then it may be necessary to switch to formula feeding.
