A newborn with jaundice for a month, what should be done?

Patient's question:

Female baby. 33 days old, her eyes are still a bit yellow, the medicine has reduced it slightly, but she has been on medication for 13 days. It's snowing every day and there's no sunshine. We went to the hospital for a blood test, but we don't understand what the physiology or pathology is.

Doctor's answer:

This value is pathological jaundice. If the baby is breastfed, it is likely breast milk jaundice, and breastfeeding should be stopped. It will gradually fade on its own.

Patients face the problem of neonatal jaundice directly, and we should actively carry out careful examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If neonatal jaundice does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be changed promptly.
