Should newborn jaundice require hospitalization?

Patient's question:

Besides the four-day full moon, the child's jaundice on the face is 15.2, on the chest is 15, and on the legs is 12.5. Ten days ago, it was measured at 16, so it has dropped a little. Both parents are Type O blood, and the child developed jaundice right after birth. Should newborn jaundice require hospitalization?

Doctor's answer:

The child has been born for a month now, and currently has high jaundice, which needs to be treated promptly. Medications to reduce jaundice, such as Yinqihuang oral liquid, should be used. Probiotics should also be taken. Drinking some glucose water is recommended. On good weather days, it is advisable to engage in outdoor activities and get some sun.
In addition to treating neonatal jaundice, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
