How can newborn jaundice be resolved quickly?

Patient's question:

Do all newborn babies have jaundice? The doctor told me how to get rid of jaundice quickly.

Doctor's answer:

If you can see jaundice with the naked eye in a newborn, it is still necessary to perform a skin jaundice test or measure blood bilirubin to further clarify the condition. If the jaundice index exceeds 14, timely blue light treatment and oral medication should be administered to reduce jaundice and prevent it from worsening into kernicterus. If the jaundice is breast milk-related, it is generally recommended to stop breastfeeding for a few days to see how the child's condition improves.
