Question
The newborn has developed jaundice that continues to persist, and the parents are seeking medical advice for treatment.
Answer
Newborn jaundice can be classified into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice typically resolves within the first half month after birth for full-term infants, while premature infants may take up to a month. If the jaundice persists, it is recommended to administer oral arctium lappa extract and probiotics to the baby to promote bilirubin metabolism. At the same time, ensure the baby is appropriately exposed to sunlight but avoid direct sunlight through glass to ensure that ultraviolet light can effectively help jaundice subside. Parents should maintain vigilance and seek professional medical assistance when necessary.
