Can pathological jaundice in newborns be cured?

Answer

The treatment of pathological jaundice includes both traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapies.

Western medicine therapy involves the use of corticosteroids and medications such as dexamethasone or prednisone. During treatment, close observation of the condition changes should be made, and the treatment plan should be adjusted according to the situation.
