What medicine should be taken to treat neonatal jaundice?

Patient's question:

My child was just born, and for about four days, my child's jaundice was particularly severe. I was very worried that it might affect the child's health, so I wanted to use medication for treatment. What kind of medicine should be taken for neonatal jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal jaundice is a very common phenomenon. Generally, neonatal jaundice does not require drug treatment. Most neonatal jaundice gradually disappears from one week to two weeks. If neonatal jaundice is too high, blue light irradiation therapy can be used. On sunny days, it should not be exposed too much. This disease is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice generally does not require special treatment, and pathological jaundice needs to be treated with blue light irradiation to alleviate jaundice.
