Is the folk remedy for treating neonatal jaundice effective?

Patient's question:

Is the folk remedy for treating neonatal jaundice effective? For this type of disease, how should I proceed with treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
Regarding the treatment of neonatal jaundice, it is best not to use folk remedies. Physiological jaundice in newborns does not require treatment. You can expose the baby to sunlight appropriately in daily life and take calcium gluconate. Under normal circumstances, it usually fades within about two weeks. If it does not fade, it may be pathological jaundice. In cases of pathological jaundice, it is necessary to return for follow-up promptly, and blue light therapy can be used.
