What should be done about newborn jaundice?

Patient's question:

My son was born only a few days ago, but recently I noticed his little face is a bit yellow. However, he is still feeding normally and has normal bowel movements. I think my son might have neonatal jaundice. What should I do about neonatal jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

It is relatively normal for newborns to develop jaundice, so there is no need to worry excessively. The jaundice issue can be promptly controlled by taking medication. Many babies face problems with bile excretion after birth, which can lead to jaundice. It may also be caused by excessive bilirubin production. Choosing medication to treat jaundice can significantly improve the condition, and it will not affect the baby's health.
