Question
My baby is 15 days old, and their face is yellow. They are eating well and in good spirits. They had blue light treatment in the pediatrician’s office on the fourth day, but the jaundice has not subsided. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Given the baby’s condition, it is necessary to consider the possibility of pathological jaundice. It is recommended to undergo blue light therapy again or use artichoke yellow granules for jaundice reduction treatment. If the baby is breastfed, you can temporarily stop breastfeeding for two to three days, but you do not need to completely stop breastfeeding until the jaundice completely resolves.
