Is probiotics helpful for newborn jaundice?

Patient's question:

Baby has not been born for a month, jaundice is relatively serious, and the test results show that the jaundice level is 18. Is jaundice in newborns and probiotics useful?

Doctor's answer:

Probiotics are mainly used to regulate the gastrointestinal system and improve indigestion. They have no effect on jaundice. Newborn jaundice should be treated by drinking plenty of warm water to promote the metabolism of jaundice. Oral solutions can be taken, and a small amount of sugar can be added to the baby's water to achieve a certain effect. If it is breast milk jaundice, it is a physiological jaundice, which is a normal phenomenon and does not need to be overly concerned. Thank you.
