What should be done if the newborn jaundice value is high?

Patient's question:

My baby was just born seven days ago, and then his/her complexion turned yellow. I took the baby to the hospital to measure the jaundice level, and they said the bilirubin level was high. What should I do if the newborn's jaundice level is high?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, parents, newborn jaundice, expose to blue light at sunset and take jaundice treatment medication. This condition is common in breast milk jaundice and hemolytic jaundice, etc. Depending on the cause, after treatment, it usually takes 3~5 weeks to gradually fade and recover health. It can also be treated directly with blue light and medication. Of course, I suggest you listen to the doctor's advice, and also drink more water for the child, urinate to treat jaundice in daily life.
