Can egg white massage reduce jaundice?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the child's condition may worsen. Can massaging the buttocks with egg white reduce jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological types. If it is physiological, it is very easy to treat and will not leave any aftereffects. If it is pathological, prompt treatment is necessary. Otherwise, high bilirubin levels in newborns can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, affecting the development of the child's nervous system. Therefore, active treatment should be taken.
The child is harmed by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid various misunderstandings. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly. For parents, it is essential to closely monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
