What medication is best to take when a baby has high jaundice in the first ten days after birth?

Patient's question:

Baby was born about ten days ago with high jaundice. Took Yinzhihuang oral liquid for seven days. Around the 20th day, measured jaundice with a level of 7.5 on the face and 6.5 on the body. The doctor said it was no longer necessary to take the medicine. At 30 days, got the vaccination and measured jaundice with a level of 7.2 on the face and 9.1 on the body. The doctor recommended liver function tests. Below are the liver function and stool test results. The doctor said it was unnecessary to undergo phototherapy and advised to focus on taking medicine at home. There is no hemolytic disease. What type of jaundice does the baby have? Could there be hepatitis? The baby is eating and sleeping well, but has diarrhea. The stool is sometimes golden and sometimes slightly green. Diarrhea has lasted for a month. Is it normal?

Doctor's answer:

Jaundice is a common disease in neonatology, divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Currently, the child is 30 days old and has pathological jaundice in addition to jaundice. The liver function is not considered hepatitis or biliary obstruction, and the child may have breast milk jaundice. It is not too high, and medication can be taken or breastfeeding can be stopped for 3 days to see if the jaundice subsides. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
