The doctor told me that my son has been jaundiced for 40 days. The total bilirubin test is 277.20 and I am taking prednisolone 5mg and colostrum milk powder as directed by the doctor. The doctor asked me how I need to monitor my baby to know if the jaundice has improved or not?

Jaundice in newborns is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. In severe cases of pathological jaundice, the baby may need to undergo neonatal blood transfusion as soon as possible. Blood transfusion will help the baby recover from jaundice and avoid serious complications, even death.
