What are the sequelae of neonatal jaundice?

Patient's question:

My son was born recently, and yesterday he was diagnosed with neonatal jaundice at the hospital. He is currently receiving treatment there. I'm worried that this condition might leave a negative impact on my son, so I'd like to ask the doctor what are the after-effects of neonatal jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal jaundice is a disease that does not need to be overly worried about. With timely medication treatment, it can recover within 7-10 days. If the jaundice level is too high, blue light therapy can be used. It is also necessary to check if it is breast milk jaundice. Timely treatment will not leave any aftereffects. It will not relax your mind. There is no need to have a fearful heart. Proper understanding and timely treatment can lead to a re-examination within a week.
