Can newborns with jaundice eat probiotics?

Patient's question:

My baby has recently developed jaundice. However, I heard from friends that this condition can be treated with probiotics. I'm not sure if it's true. I want to ask if jaundice in newborns can be treated with probiotics?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the baby can take probiotics, but if the jaundice is high, it is usually necessary to take jaundice-reducing medication for treatment. If diarrhea occurs during this period, probiotics can be taken to regulate the intestines. If specific conditions require treatment at a local hospital, it is usually recommended to drink more water for the baby under the guidance of a local doctor. For specific situations, it is necessary to visit a local hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and it is recommended to drink more water for the baby regularly.
