Can newborn jaundice be treated with medication?

Patient's question:

Suddenly felt uncomfortable, after checking, I was diagnosed with this disease. Please ask: Can newborn jaundice be treated with medication?

Doctor's answer:

Saccharomyces boulardii powder has a role in promoting jaundice reduction, but it is not a specialized medication for treating neonatal jaundice, so it's not surprising that the effect is not ideal. It is recommended to switch to Yinzhihuang oral liquid or granules for the child's jaundice reduction. The child indeed does not drink formula milk, so breastfeeding cannot be paused either. Just focus on breastfeeding, but the mother needs to pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoiding foods cooked with alcohol and vinegar, as well as sweet wine (jiu lao). Neonatal jaundice can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly while also focusing on self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding foods. It is hoped that neonatal jaundice patients can receive professional treatment.
