Question
My baby is five days old, and their skin is yellowish, which might be jaundice. I want to know about the treatment methods.
Answer
Newborn jaundice can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice generally does not require treatment and will resolve on its own. Pathological jaundice requires active treatment, such as phototherapy and medication, with regular checks to monitor treatment effectiveness to avoid severe complications.
