Baby is 18 days old with mild jaundice, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Jian: My baby is 18 days old. I took them to the hospital to get checked, and they have slight jaundice and symptoms of diarrhea. The doctor only prescribed medicine for the diarrhea, not for the jaundice. Will the jaundice go away on its own? How should I take care of them () normally?

Doctor's answer:

Alright, I'm happy to help you with the translation. Here's the English version of your text:
```
Okay, I'm happy to help you with the answer. In your baby's condition description, the baby is a newborn aged 18 days. There is mild jaundice and symptoms of diarrhea. The doctor prescribed medication for the diarrhea but did not prescribe medication for the jaundice. This should be because the jaundice is mild and the jaundice level is not high, so it does not require treatment. It is recommended to give the baby more water to promote the excretion of bilirubin, expose the baby to sunlight, and you can also give the baby jaundice-reducing medication.
