Question
What are the effective treatment methods when a newborn develops jaundice?
Answer
When a newborn exhibits symptoms of jaundice, it is first necessary to assess the extent and cause of the jaundice through transcutaneous bilirubin measurement or blood tests. Treatment methods may include the use of jaundice-lowering drugs, antijaundice drugs, and probiotics such as bifidobacteria. In cases where necessary, phototherapy or other appropriate treatment measures can be adopted. It is recommended that parents take their newborn to a local pediatrician for professional diagnosis and treatment advice.
