What should I do if a newborn's jaundice is high and does not subside?

Patient's question:

Newborn jaundice reappearing with low fever should not be treated as follows. Generally, what are the reasons for a child having jaundice? How can jaundice be removed through postnatal treatment?

Doctor's answer:

If jaundice reappears with persistent low-grade fever, it is generally considered that the child may have liver-related or pathological jaundice. It is recommended that parents should take the child to the hospital promptly for relevant treatment and thorough examination, and stop breastfeeding. Parents need to provide the child with more nutrition and protect the skin from sun exposure if jaundice reappears. Relevant physical therapy should be used to remove the jaundice.
