Answer
Case Analysis: Hello, newborn jaundice is usually caused by an excess of dampness and heat in the body, which may be related to the high body temperature of the mother. It is recommended to give the baby Yinzhi Huang Granules to clear heat and dampness. Also, the mother should drink tea made from Yinchen, Jiezi, and Baimao Gen to help the baby jaundice.
