How to treat jaundice in newborn babies

Patient's question:

My baby has just been born for three days and has turned yellow on her face, which is jaundice. How should it be treated? It hasn't been treated yet. I hope to get help.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, small children will reappear yellow after three days of birth. But jaundice is divided into physiological and pathological types. If it is physiological jaundice, it will gradually fade away within two weeks. You should mainly pay attention to whether the child is eating well. If the child is generally doing well, there is no problem. If the child's jaundice index is high now, blue light treatment is needed. If it is low, medication treatment can be used.
