Question
What should I do if my newborn is uncomfortable and unable to sleep due to high jaundice levels?
Answer
When a newborn’s jaundice level is elevated, the first step is to distinguish whether it is physiological or pathological jaundice. If it is physiological jaundice, it usually decreases to normal levels within a week after birth. However, if it is due to pathological reasons, the jaundice level may continue to rise. In such cases, it is recommended to undergo phototherapy as soon as possible. May the patient recover soon!
