How can I effectively treat slight yellow skin, which the doctor said is jaundice?

Patient's question:

My baby was just born, and his skin is a bit yellower than normal. The doctor said it's jaundice, which scared us badly. We are all very worried. What should we do? What is the most effective solution?

Doctor's answer:

Don't worry too much, this symptom appears in newborns. If the condition is mild, there's no need to be overly concerned, as it will usually subside on its own within six to seven days. However, if the condition is severe or has not subsided on its own for a long time, treatment in an incubator will be necessary, and prompt treatment is essential. Otherwise, it may have a significant impact on the baby's future growth. If the condition is mild, there's no need to be overly concerned, as it will generally subside on its own within six to seven days. However, if the condition is severe or has not subsided on its own, treatment in an incubator with timely diagnosis and treatment will be required.
