What are the reasons for severe jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

Just had a baby about ten days ago, but I noticed that my baby has quite severe jaundice. Other babies are much better. I don't know what's going on. What are the reasons for severe jaundice in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most newborns with jaundice in this parent are due to hemolysis or breastfeeding. Traditional Chinese medicine oral liquid is used to treat this condition orally. Generally, it will gradually subside and disappear after 3 to 4 weeks. Breastfeeding jaundice starts with mixed feeding. This situation does not require liver-protecting medication treatment. Pathological jaundice, such as hemolytic jaundice, may be related to blood type. Timely treatment generally has little impact, and it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible.
