Should newborns with high jaundice levels be treated with immunoglobulin?

Patient's question:

Born for a month, on the fourth day of birth, the doctor said the jaundice level was 14. After taking Yinzhihuang Granules for three or five days, I stopped taking it when I saw it wasn't yellow anymore. Please ask, is it necessary to treat high neonatal jaundice with gamma globulin?

Doctor's answer:

If the mother does not have hepatitis B, then high bilirubin levels in the child are not necessarily a reason to use immune globulin. Immune globulin is simply immune globulin. I believe that drinking some Yinzhihuang oral liquid or blue light exposure is sufficient. There are many treatment methods for neonatal jaundice, but since the patient's condition is different, the diagnostic methods used will also vary. Therefore, patients need to have timely and careful examination and diagnosis to achieve targeted treatment.
