Is neonatal jaundice of degree 23 serious?

Patient's question:

Your baby is now over 20 days old. Since the 7th day, their face has been yellow. Others say it's jaundice, but now that it's been over 20 days, their face is still yellow. Is jaundice severe at 23 days in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

This child has been born for more than 20 days. Currently, the high jaundice condition requires treatment with jaundice-reducing medication. If the weather is good, outdoor activities and sunlight are better. After meals, some glucose water can be consumed, and probiotics or jaundice-reducing medication should be taken consistently for 3 to 5 days. Attention to care, consistent medication use, and breastfeeding are recommended. Breastfeeding can be temporarily stopped for a few days. It is advised to consult a doctor and seek examination and treatment at a regular hospital based on the actual situation.
