What should be done if there is Staphylococcus aureus under the skin in yellow blood culture?

Patient's question:

Male, 1 month illness/symptoms: Subcutaneous Staphylococcus. Description of condition: Newborn jaundice admitted to the hospital. Later, the doctor said the jaundice had subsided, and blood culture may have subcutaneous Staphylococcus.

Doctor's answer:

Newborn jaundice has many causes. This depends on the baby's hospitalization status, with staphylococcal infection potentially leading to jaundice in children.
Question: The jaundice has now subsided. When you can eat and sleep at home. Without any symptoms. Do you still need to be hospitalized? If there are no symptoms, you can first monitor whether jaundice returns. And then a blood culture needs to be repeated. How long does it take for a blood culture? The results of the blood culture usually take about 5 days to return to normal?
