What should I do if my baby has high jaundice and is hospitalized on the fifth day after birth?

Patient's question:

Born 5 days ago, jaundice admitted to the hospital. I want to ask the doctor what these documents say. During the late pregnancy check-up, it was said that the baby's left kidney system was separated, and then because of high rupture of water, the baby was born at 376 days. Are these documents serious? What are the main points mentioned?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I haven't seen your test report, so I can't analyze it. Neonatal jaundice is mostly of the normal type, with a small amount caused by factors such as infection or hemolysis. Secondly, during the hospital stay for jaundice treatment, if all test results are normal—such as liver function, renal function, and various viral tests—there should be no problem. If the jaundice does not improve, you can consult the doctor and try blue light therapy to reduce it.
