<s>[INST] What are the ways to treat this condition? [/INST] There are two ways to bring down the bilirubin levels to avoid brain toxicity. These are:

Phototherapy
Exchange transfusion
Your baby will be put under a phototherapy light unit. The blue coloured component of the light can convert the bilirubin to a non-toxic product.
Newborn undergoing intensive phototherapy for severe neonatal jaundice.
Should not do: You should not expose your baby to sunlight for treatment due to risk of dehydration and sunburn
The toxic bilirubin level for term babies in the first week of life is usually taken as more than 20 mg/dL (340 umol/L). Exchange transfusion is used as a last resort to try to avoid brain toxicity due to severe neonatal jaundice. The levels for exchange transfusion will depend on many factors including the age of the baby and the cause of the jaundice. Source: MyHEALTH Malaysia.
