What medicine should newborns with jaundice take to alleviate it?

Patient's question:

After my son was born, he developed a yellowish complexion on his face. At first, I thought he was sick. Later, after some tests at the hospital, I learned that it was due to newborn jaundice. What kind of medication should he take?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. If this baby has jaundice, medication can be taken to treat the jaundice. However, it is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. This medication may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in the baby, such as diarrhea, bloating, etc. It is not necessary to worry too much about jaundice in newborns. Most cases are physiological and will gradually fade away. I also suggest that during this period, the baby can be given appropriate amounts of water, which is beneficial for jaundice.
