How can jaundice in newborns be effectively reduced?

Patient's question:

My baby was carefully diagnosed with jaundice a while ago, and is now undergoing blue light treatment. I'm worried about potential side effects. How can neonatal jaundice be reduced quickly?

Doctor's answer:

First, you need to figure out what type of jaundice it is. If it's physiological jaundice, you don't need to worry. If it's pathological, treatment should be the focus. It is recommended to adopt a comprehensive evaluation for treatment, which may include medications such as phenobarbital; implement phototherapy treatment, encourage treatment, and take a positive approach to treatment. The patient should develop a regular lifestyle with good sleep habits, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
