<s>[INST] what is the treatment for jaundice? [/INST] 
Mild jaundice will usually resolve on its own as a baby’s liver matures. Frequent feedings (at least 8 times a day) will help babies pass bilirubin through their bodies.

More severe jaundice may require other treatments. Phototherapy (light therapy) is a common and highly effective method of treatment that uses light to break down bilirubin in your baby’s body.

In phototherapy, your baby will be placed on a special bed under a blue spectrum light while wearing only a diaper and special protective goggles. A fiber-optic blanket may also be placed underneath your baby.

In very severe cases, an exchange transfusion may be necessary. In this procedure, a baby receives small amounts of blood from a donor or a blood bank.

This replaces the baby’s damaged blood with healthy red blood cells. This also increases the baby’s red blood cell count and reduces bilirubin levels.

In addition, if there’s an underlying cause, the baby will need to be treated for the condition to resolve symptoms.
