What should be done if a newborn has high jaundice?

Patient's question:

Baby is one month old. In this period, jaundice was found. Going to the hospital for examination, it was discovered that the disease was contracted. I want to treat it well and improve the condition. Please ask: How to deal with high jaundice in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

If it is physiological jaundice, special treatment is not required. It usually fades away on its own within a few weeks. Pathological jaundice requires medication treatment and blue light therapy, and it is generally recoverable. Don't worry. Let the child get more sun exposure. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible based on their own condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take good care to prevent cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
