Answer

Hello, your baby has neonatal jaundice, which is mostly physiological and usually resolves gradually over time. If the jaundice becomes more severe, phototherapy can be used to help it fade quickly. Additionally, consider using Yin Chen Huang oral liquid, and it is recommended to undergo a liver function test to determine the accurate bilirubin level. If the baby is drowsy due to jaundice, it is necessary to check liver function specifically to prevent the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia (kernicterus).
