How should hemolytic jaundice in newborns be treated?

Patient's question:

Baby is one month old. I don't know what the situation will be. Later, I learned that they got this disease. I'm very worried and scared. Please ask: How is neonatal hemolytic jaundice treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of hemolytic jaundice primarily involves treating the underlying hemolytic disorder itself: eliminating the cause (such as the need to recover from malaria to correct red blood cell destruction caused by it), removing triggers (such as preventing the consumption of fava beans and the use of hydrolytic drugs in G-6-PD deficiency patients), and symptomatic treatment (such as using corticosteroid drugs and plasma exchange for autoimmune hemolytic anemia).
