What should be done about newborn jaundice and how to alleviate it?

Patient's question:

The birth of a child is originally a very happy event, but recently it was discovered that the child's skin is yellow, and later it was found that even the eyes are also yellow. It turned out that the child had jaundice. I would like to ask some experienced parents or doctors: How to deal with jaundice in newborns? How to reduce it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. Generally speaking, the peak period of jaundice is 5-9 days after a newborn baby is born. If it is too severe, blue light or oral medication can be used for treatment. If it is not severe, if you give more sunlight with oral medication, it will gradually decrease. Parents should pay attention to observe that jaundice will disappear within 25 days. If it does not disappear, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and recheck the jaundice level.
