Is newborn jaundice serious?

Patient's question:

I would like to consult about my grandchild's condition. My grandson has been born for three days, and his body is still a bit yellow, but it's getting a little better. The doctor didn't mention any treatment at the time and just asked us to wait and see for a few days. If it still persists, it might be necessary to use blue light. I want to ask if this situation is serious?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if the jaundice is not pathological, there is no need for blue light treatment. If your grandson's jaundice is not severe, exposing him to more sunlight can also help fade it. Alternatively, you can give him some Yinzhihuang, which can also help reduce his jaundice. The doctor said to focus on careful observation first, which means your grandson's jaundice is not severe, so there is no need to worry too much.
