Question
A newborn girl vomited Bloodshot five days after birth. What should be done in this situation?
Answer
This condition may be caused by excessive heat, which indicates an imbalance in the internal organ’s Qi and blood, and is not a serious illness. It is recommended to treat with Qingwei San. Newborns may experience jaundice within the first week after birth, which is mainly due to the characteristics of bilirubin metabolism in newborns. If the jaundice is mild, it is considered physiological jaundice, and parents do not need to be overly concerned. Physiological jaundice usually appears on the 2nd to 3rd day after birth, is most pronounced on the 4th to 6th day, and gradually subsides after 7 to 10 days.
