A. not needed at this level whenever there is confusion regarding the treatment given by your doctor and if you are not satisfied with the answers you can always take a second opinion of another doctor of the same field. weather a particular investigation or treatment is proper or not can be confirmed only after taking relevant history and doing proper examinationd of the child which will be done by the second doctor.

A. Yes it would be good if you give phototherapy to your child rest your doctor would advise you correctly on that because with phototherapy actually the jaundice levels are going to reduce down at a faster level so I think it is going to be good
