Hello, it is pathological jaundice, which requires timely treatment. Prolonged jaundice can affect future intellectual development.You can go to the hospital to check the jaundice index and blood routine. If the values are elevated, phototherapy may be needed. If they are normal, you can take Yinzhihuang Granules orally for observation. The child is troubled by neonatal physiological jaundice, so the mother must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to pay timely attention to the child's condition and help them receive treatment as soon as possible.
