What should be done if there is subcutaneous staphylococcus in yellow blood culture?

Patient's question:

Male, 1 month illness/symptoms: Subcutaneous Staphylococcus disease description: Neonatal jaundice admitted to the hospital. Later, the doctor said that the jaundice subsided and there might be subcutaneous Staphylococcus in the blood culture.

Doctor's answer:

Newborn jaundice has many causes. This depends on the baby's hospitalization status, as hemolysis or infection can cause it. Staphylococcal infection may lead 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 observe whether jaundice returns. How long does it take to do another blood culture? Approximately 5 days for the blood culture results to return to normal?
