What should be done about physiological jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

Boy baby. Does neonatal physiological jaundice affect intelligence? Over 180, tested blood is physiological! But it hasn't subsided yet though it's almost 50 days.

Doctor's answer:

If the child has physiological jaundice and the jaundice level is not particularly high, it generally will not affect the child. I suggest you check that it is now 50 days and physiological jaundice is no longer considered. Because physiological jaundice usually disappears completely around 10 days. In addition to timely treatment for neonatal jaundice, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can it significantly improve the patient's immunity and the belief to combat the disease. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, primarily based on light food, and avoid stimulating and cold food, believing that this can drive away neonatal jaundice.
