Neonatal jaundice is mainly divided into two categories, namely physiological and pathological types. Pathological jaundice is extremely harmful and can cause serious chronic diseases and even endanger the child's life.

If it is a pathological cause, it should be treated as soon as possible to reduce the harm of jaundice.

Neonatal jaundice is mostly a physiological phenomenon. If it is physiological jaundice, usually letting the child drink some plain water can relieve the condition and help eliminate jaundice. Mothers should not eat too greasy food during breastfeeding. They can eat more low-calorie and detoxifying foods, which can also help children reduce jaundice.

Physiological jaundice requires more attention to care in daily life, while pathological jaundice must be effectively treated as soon as possible, which can quickly help children eliminate symptoms and get rid of the harm caused by the disease.
