Question
A 30-year-old woman is asking about the treatment for her newborn baby who has jaundice.
Answer
Your baby is suffering from neonatal jaundice, which is often physiological and typically resolves gradually over time. If the condition is severe, consider phototherapy (blue light therapy) to quickly help the jaundice subside. Additionally, exposing your baby to sunlight (in the morning hours) can help improve the jaundice. You can also consider administering a senna extract solution orally and regularly checking liver function. Pay attention to maintaining a light diet for your baby, ensuring a cheerful mood, avoiding staying up late, and ensuring adequate sleep. In daily life, avoid overeating or undereating, and avoid binge eating.
