Question
My baby has jaundice 7 days after birth. How long should I continue to give him/her the Yinzi Huang oral liquid?
Answer
Yinzi Huang oral liquid is a commonly used medication for treating neonatal jaundice, and the duration of treatment should be based on the baby’s specific condition and the severity of the jaundice. Typically, physiological jaundice may appear in babies within 3 to 5 days after birth and will gradually subside around day 14. However, pathological jaundice may require a longer treatment period and should be treated as early as possible to identify the cause. During treatment, it is important to closely monitor the baby’s jaundice status and overall health, and follow the doctor’s instructions to adjust the medication time and dosage. For pathological jaundice, especially in premature infants or those with other serious complications, it is advisable to seek professional medical advice and treatment as soon as possible.
