How to treat jaundice in newborns with infant oil

Patient's question:

A newborn baby has jaundice and vomits when feeding! It's not severe.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
Hello, neonatal jaundice. First, consider it as physiological jaundice. If it is not severe, it can usually disappear completely within 2 weeks. If the jaundice is more severe or persists without improvement, it is pathological jaundice and requires hospital treatment. If there are no other complications, the symptoms you described should be physiological jaundice.
Suggestions:
Pay attention to keeping the newborn warm, feed them appropriately earlier, provide sufficient water and energy, and help them pass meconium early to reduce the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin, which can alleviate the severity of physiological jaundice. Wish you good health!
