How to treat neonatal jaundice in children?

Patient's question:

Appeared jaundice two days after birth, received three days of injections and blood test results showed normal, now the symptoms reappear, no family history of hereditary diseases, please ask how to treat jaundice in a one-month-old baby.

Doctor's answer:

Jaundice occurs early (within 24 hours after birth); rapid progression (daily increase rate exceeding 85 and 5U moles/l); excessive (total bilirubin in serum greater than 221 umol/l); regression too late or reappearing after regression; (full-term delivery lasting more than 2 weeks, preterm delivery lasting more than 4 weeks) with total bilirubin level exceeding 26 units/l before treatment. If your blood bilirubin level is normal, you may not need treatment. However, you should be closely monitored, and your family should also observe. If your child's limbs are yellow, you should also take oral Gentian and Huanglian combined with probiotics, and blue light treatment is necessary.
