Can newborns with jaundice be vaccinated? Can newborns with jaundice take Yinzhihuang oral liquid?

Many newborns will suffer from jaundice after birth, and first-time mothers will be very nervous, but in fact this is a normal phenomenon. At the same time, newborns need to be vaccinated with many vaccines after birth, so we need to know whether newborns with jaundice can be vaccinated? Can newborns with jaundice take Yinzhihuang oral liquid?

Whether newborns with jaundice can be vaccinated should be divided into two situations.

1. Pathological jaundice: If the newborn develops jaundice within 24 hours after birth, and the jaundice progresses quickly but subsides slowly, or reappears after subsiding, then it can be judged as pathological jaundice. At this time, the newborn should receive timely treatment and should not be vaccinated, especially the hepatitis B vaccine.

When a newborn reaches one month old, hepatitis B vaccine needs to be given. Jaundice may be caused by liver damage or other diseases. If the hepatitis B vaccine is given during jaundice, it may aggravate the symptoms of jaundice. The hepatitis B vaccine can be delayed. Therefore, it is recommended not to give the hepatitis B vaccine when the baby has jaundice. It is better to give the vaccine after the jaundice subsides.

2. Physiological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually appears 2-3 days after the baby is born, usually on the face and neck, and then slowly spreads to the skin of the trunk and limbs. There are usually no obvious jaundice symptoms on the calves, forearms, palms, and soles. It usually disappears in full-term babies 7-10 days after birth, and in premature babies it usually takes 3-4 weeks to disappear. Generally, babies with physiological jaundice who have no other diseases, are in good physical condition, and are in good spirits can be vaccinated with various vaccines.

Neonatal jaundice can take Yinzhihuang oral liquid. As we all know, neonatal jaundice can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. For physiological jaundice, no special treatment is required. For pathological jaundice, if the degree is not particularly serious and the general condition of the newborn is relatively good, Yinzhihuang oral liquid can be taken orally for treatment. It can clear away heat and detoxify and eliminate jaundice, but there will be certain gastrointestinal side effects when taking this medicine orally, such as diarrhea.

It is okay to drink glucose for neonatal jaundice under certain circumstances. This situation refers to the fact that the newborn is not breastfed in time after birth. When the mother does not have enough breast milk and does not plan to drink milk powder, glucose can be given to increase the blood sugar concentration of the newborn. Delayed breastfeeding of the newborn will lead to increased enterohepatic circulation, poor feeding, and slow intestinal peristalsis, which will lead to a significant increase in the reabsorption of bilirubin in the intestine. In addition, eating less can also cause hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is a relatively important cause of neonatal jaundice. In the case of delayed breastfeeding and hypoglycemia in the early stage, glucose can be given to reduce the concentration of neonatal jaundice. However, in the later stage, drinking glucose is useless and it is necessary to be admitted to the hospital to actively find the cause.

You can take probiotics. You can take probiotics after neonatal jaundice. Common probiotics include Xiaobifeikang, Mommy Love, Siliankang, etc. These probiotics can regulate the disorder of the child's intestinal flora, thereby promoting the recovery of the child's gastrointestinal dysfunction and facilitating the recovery of the child's enterohepatic circulation. Because after neonatal jaundice, the child's bilirubin will accumulate in the intestine and be reabsorbed into the blood through the intestine. This is the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin. After giving children probiotics, it is helpful to reduce the number of children's enterohepatic circulation, thereby alleviating the child's jaundice. However, if neonatal jaundice is caused by pathological reasons, such as viral infection, hepatitis B virus or cytomegalovirus and other viral infections, the child will have jaundice. At this time, it is not possible to take probiotics alone, and antiviral treatment must be combined. In addition, if the child's jaundice is caused by biliary atresia, this situation requires timely surgery or liver transplantation. It is not possible to take probiotics alone, and it is necessary to cooperate with other etiological treatments.
