Question
A parent inquired about their baby, who is 20 days old, having developed jaundice on their face and around the eyes. The baby’s diet and excretion are normal, but the parent wants to know how to improve the situation.
Answer
The baby’s jaundice may be caused by an excess of dampness and heat in the body, which could be related to high temperatures in the womb. It is recommended that parents give the baby a moderate dose of Yinchen Huang Granules to clear heat and dampness. Additionally, the mother can brew a herbal tea using Yinchen, Jiezi, and Bai Mao Gen to help remove the jaundice through breastfeeding. The mother should avoid eating spicy and fried foods. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and your baby. Wishing you both health!
