Answer
Neonatal jaundice is a common occurrence, typically characterized by yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. According to your description, your baby’s jaundice level has decreased and the condition is not severe. It is recommended to continue oral medication for two days to promote the complete resolution of jaundice. At the same time, during the treatment period, parents should pay attention to their baby’s diet and care, maintaining a light diet to avoid unnecessary complications.
