How to properly care for newborn jaundice?

Patient's question:

My wife gave birth to a baby boy two days ago, but he has developed jaundice in these past couple of days. Since my baby is premature, I'm a bit worried. However, the doctor said it's a normal phenomenon. How should I take care of him to make him more comfortable?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend, if jaundice in newborns persists for more than 10 days, it is abnormal. This is pathological jaundice. Children can take antijaur oral liquid or undergo blue light irradiation. Generally, they should adhere to treatment. After 7-10 days, follow-up will gradually recover, and it will not cause other functional impacts. There is no need to worry. Half a month after the baby is born, vitamin AD will be supplemented.
