Question
If a newborn is diagnosed with jaundice after birth, parents seek effective treatment methods. How should neonatal jaundice be treated?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice can be physiological and usually resolves naturally within two weeks after birth. If the bilirubin levels are not high, continuous observation is recommended. If the levels are higher, consider administering antijaundice medication. If the jaundice persists without improvement, it is advisable to seek blue light therapy at a professional hospital. In severe cases, further liver function tests may be required.
