Question
How to quickly reduce neonatal jaundice?
Answer
If neonatal jaundice is visible to the naked eye, further jaundice testing should be conducted, such as skin tests or blood bilirubin tests. If the jaundice index exceeds 14, blue light therapy and oral medications may be needed to help lower the jaundice level and prevent it from progressing to kernicterus. If it is lactation-related jaundice, it is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding for a few days to observe the effect.
