Neonatal jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice appears two to three days after birth, peaks around the fifth or sixth day, and then gradually subsides, so there is no need for medication in this case. If it is neonatal pathological jaundice, merely taking medication does not solve the problem; this requires treatment with blue light therapy. At the same time, it is important to identify the cause of the jaundice and treat it accordingly. In such cases, medication is actually not necessary. Therefore, it is crucial to first determine whether neonatal jaundice is physiological or pathological. Physiological jaundice requires no intervention, while pathological jaundice necessitates hospital treatment. Regarding the increasingly common breastfeeding jaundice, medication is generally not needed; monitoring of the jaundice in the child is essential, however. If the jaundice level continues to rise and exceeds 15 mg/dl, blue light therapy is also required. If the condition is not severe, exposing the child to more sunlight and waiting for the jaundice to subside naturally is sufficient.
