Doctor's answer:

Physiological jaundice is a condition where serum bilirubin levels in newborns gradually rise from 17 to 51 μmol/L at birth to 86 μmol/L or higher after 24 hours. It manifests as jaundice without other symptoms and typically resolves within 1 to 2 weeks. Currently, the treatment for neonatal jaundice is primarily Western medicine-based.
1. Phototherapy: The newborn is placed naked in a phototherapy box, with their eyes and testicles covered by black cloth. Monochromatic or dual-light therapy is used for 24 to 48 hours. Treatment is stopped once bilirubin levels drop below 7 mg/dL.
2. Enzyme inducers: Phenobarbital is commonly used.
We recommend that you seek immediate diagnosis and treatment at a local hospital.
