Question
Is a 12.9 jaundice level for a 3-day-old baby normal?
Answer
Baby jaundice is primarily caused by excessive damp-heat within the body, related to the high temperature in the mother’s womb. You can appropriately give the baby some honeysuckle yellow granules to achieve the effect of clearing heat and dampness. Additionally, the mother can help the baby jaundice by drinking tea made from chrysanthemum, quince, and white grass root, while avoiding spicy and fried foods.
