How long does it take for a newborn with jaundice to be discharged from the hospital?

Patient's question:

The baby has been born for ten days, and the jaundice level is as high as 26. The doctor recommended blue light treatment, but I think it's caused by breastfeeding because I have postpartum hypertension and am taking blood pressure medication. Could you please tell me: how long does it usually take for a newborn with jaundice to be discharged from the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

The child currently has a slightly high level of jaundice and needs timely treatment. Please pay attention to care. Glucose water can be consumed between meals. Take some probiotics and also drink some glucose water. Use Yinzhi Huang oral liquid for treatment. Continue to monitor closely.
Additionally, during the treatment of neonatal jaundice, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must supplement vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information helps you. Thank you.
