Dr. Xie Zixing
The risks associated with high total bile acid levels in infants typically include the development of jaundice, skin yellowing, and potential liver function damage, with infants commonly experiencing symptoms such as spitting up milk. Under a doctor's guidance, infants with elevated total bile acids may take certain oral medications, such as ursodeoxycholic acid or Qinggan Lidan oral liquid. During treatment, a light and bland diet is recommended.
