Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that but I am not aware of syrup debitone. What is it used for? Why did the doctor give any medicine to the newborn for jaundice? In my knowledge, the only mother feed is required as treatment at home unless the child is admitted. Even then no medication is advised.
Is it possible for you to visit a nearby doctor in this regard?
