A. no, can be treated at home, it is called physiological jaundice..and very common in newborn..It will subside by it's own by the end of second week. Just breast feed your baby two to three hourly and on demand., sun exposure should be done properly

A. By the time a baby is about 2 weeks old, their liver is more effective at processing bilirubin, so jaundice often corrects itself by this age without causing any harm.
