If it is physiological jaundice, treatment may not be necessary. If it is pathological jaundice, active treatment is required. The child may develop kernicterus, which can affect the nervous system. If the child's condition is severe jaundice with high bilirubin levels, it is recommended to actively treat it with blue light therapy or take jaundice-reducing medication. It's important not to take it lightly.
