Question

After one month of birth, the jaundice symptoms in a newborn continue to recur. How should one effectively treat it?

Answer

The treatment of newborn jaundice first considers whether it is physiological jaundice, which typically resolves naturally within two weeks after birth. At this time, it is important to protect the newborn, ensure they consume adequate water and calories, and expel meconium early. If the jaundice symptoms do not subside, further investigation into the cause should be conducted, and the root cause and triggers should be thoroughly eliminated to achieve true jaundice resolution. The causes of jaundice include excessive bilirubin production, impaired liver function in metabolizing bilirubin, and bile metabolism disorders. That’s my answer; I hope it helps.
