If jaundice appears after one month, it is generally pathological jaundice and requires timely medical examination. Consider giving the child a Chinese herbal medicine, Yin Que Huang Granules, drinking some glucose water, stopping breastfeeding for three days, and exposing the baby to sunlight when the weather is good before observing. Considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, more sunlight exposure is needed, and additional treatment with infant fish liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral liquid can be considered. In severe cases, vitamin D3 injection may be required.
Persistent jaundice in newborns for more than a month may indicate pathological jaundice, which requires identifying the cause and undergoing systematic treatment.

At the same time, giving the baby an appropriate amount of water can help jaundice subside.
