Neonatal jaundice can be treated with medications such as phenobarbital and live combined bifidobacterium powder under the guidance of a doctor, which can reduce bilirubin levels to some extent and thereby alleviate jaundice. Additionally, phototherapy may be administered as prescribed to lower serum bilirubin; however, phototherapy may easily cause adverse symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and rash.
