Question
What medication is effective for newborn jaundice?
Answer
The medication treatment for newborn jaundice primarily determines the recurrence period of the jaundice. For physiological jaundice, oral medication may not be necessary. However, if the baby develops jaundice soon after birth, it may be pathological jaundice, especially hemolytic anemia-induced jaundice. In such cases, a revisit to the hospital is necessary, and hospitalization may be required if necessary.
