Baby has diarrhea after taking jaundice medicine

Nowadays, many newborns have severe jaundice, so parents usually give their babies some medicine for fear that it will affect their children's health. However, treating jaundice does not necessarily require medication, because the medicine may also have some side effects. For example, the baby may have diarrhea after taking jaundice medicine. Jaundice must master the regular treatment methods to avoid worsening of the disease.

treat

1. Supplement sufficient calories, vitamins, essential amino acids and fatty acids.

2. Use medication reasonably according to the cause of the disease.

3. Surgery: Surgery is used when bile duct obstruction is caused by tumors or stones.

4. Treatment of neonatal jaundice: Phototherapy should be used for neonatal jaundice. Phototherapy can change the chemical structure of bilirubin, making it easily soluble in water and excreted by the kidneys.

Clinical manifestations

(I) Symptoms and signs

1. Fever: Jaundice with fever is often seen in acute cholangitis, and is also accompanied by chills. Liver abscess, sepsis, and leptospirosis all cause moderate or even high fever; acute viral hepatitis or acute hemolysis often causes fever first, followed by jaundice.

2. Abdominal pain: Jaundice accompanied by severe colic or pain in the upper abdomen is often seen in bile duct stones, biliary ascariasis or liver abscess, primary liver cancer, etc. Viral hepatitis often presents with persistent distension and dull pain in the right upper abdomen; liver abscess or liver cancer may also present with dull pain or distension in the upper abdomen or right upper abdomen.

3. Skin itching: Jaundice accompanied by skin itching is often seen in jaundice caused by intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct obstruction (cholestasis), such as common bile duct stones, cancer or primary biliary cirrhosis, recurrent jaundice during pregnancy, etc. Some patients with hepatocellular jaundice may also experience skin itching, while hemolytic jaundice often does not cause skin itching.

4. The color of urine and feces: In obstructive jaundice, the urine is as dark as strong tea, while the feces may become lighter in color. When the bile duct is completely blocked, the feces are like clay. In patients with hemolytic jaundice, the urine is soy sauce-colored and the stool color is also darker; in patients with hepatocellular jaundice, the urine color is slightly darker and the stool color is light yellow.
