How to treat neonatal jaundice with a value of 10?

Patient's question:

The baby has only been born for ten days. It was noticed that the skin is particularly yellow. After using a jaundice meter, it was found that the jaundice level is only 10. What treatment should be done? Are there any better methods?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the information provided, the newborn's jaundice index was 10 at 17 hours after birth. It can be temporarily monitored, but blue light treatment should not be used. Usually, newborns may have mild jaundice to some extent after birth. Based on your description, the above symptoms suggest you can take some medication, such as gallstones and yellowing. At the same time, pay attention to drinking some glucose water and monitor the condition. If necessary, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further treatment.
