What should be done if a 90-day-old baby has jaundice symptoms?

Patient's question:

My son experienced (asphyxia) and (convulsions) when he was one day old, but he recovered after treatment at the city hospital. The doctor asked me to bring him back for a follow-up check-up when he turns three months old.
I would like to ask the kind doctors: What is the cause of this condition? Is it difficult to treat? Can it be cured? Will there be any (aftereffects) after treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a 90-day-old infant has jaundice. We should first consider whether it is caused by dietary reasons. If the dietary reasons are ruled out, we should take the child to the hospital for further examination to check for any abnormalities in liver function. Then, the doctor can prescribe medication based on the test results. The specific dosage and usage of the medication should be followed according to the doctor's instructions. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary.
