What are the symptoms and manifestations of jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

The baby is ten days old, and the jaundice level is as high as 38. The doctor recommended blue light treatment, but I think it's caused by breastfeeding because I have postpartum hypertension and am taking antihypertensive medication. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms and manifestations of neonatal jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

The symptom is based on jaundice, so it's best to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to determine the condition and then implement treatment to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Generally, some treatments like "Children's Bacterial Gentian and Yellow Oral Liquid" can be used to achieve the treatment effect, which will help improve the condition. Symptomatic treatment and proper nourishment should be applied. Newborns with jaundice can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life while understanding the principle of treating the symptoms. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
