How are newborn jaundice treated?

Patient's question:

My BB was born on February 10th, just one day old, and during the jaundice test, the results were above the standard. By the next day, the level had continued to rise. The blood type test showed that BB is type B, which is inconsistent with the mother's O-type blood. Currently, BB is being treated in the hospital.
What kind of help do I need: I want to ask about the effectiveness of the treatment and the estimated time for recovery.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, newborns may have pathological jaundice at birth, which ultimately falls within the normal range. In such cases, it is recommended to take Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid to help eliminate jaundice. Additionally, you can observe the baby's bowel movements. If the stool appears green or black, it indicates that the jaundice is being effectively eliminated. If the jaundice level exceeds 16, hospitalization and blue light treatment may be necessary.
