Question
Are folk remedies effective for treating newborn jaundice?
Answer
It’s best not to use folk remedies for treating newborn jaundice. Physiological jaundice in newborns does not require treatment. You can appropriately expose the baby to sunlight and take calcium gluconate in daily life. Under normal circumstances, the jaundice usually subsides in about two weeks. If it does not subside, it is pathological jaundice, which requires timely re-examination and can be treated with blue light therapy.
