Question
How should neonatal jaundice be treated with medication?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice typically does not require medication treatment. In most cases, jaundice will naturally subside within the first to second week after birth. If the bilirubin level is too high, blue light therapy can be used to reduce bilirubin levels. On sunny days, moderate sunbathing can also help alleviate jaundice. Neonatal jaundice can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. Physiological jaundice usually does not require special treatment, while pathological jaundice may require blue light therapy for yellowing reduction.
