My baby boy having 32 days of age is having bilirubin (jaundice) which reached at 24 points and also having low platelets counts of 80,000 and high C-Reactive Protein of 46 on 6th Aug, then the doctors started antibiotics named Mero 500 and keep him under phototherapy, now counts have improved but still the face is yellowish. Is the treatment is proper and if so then how much time will it take to make him fully fit?

Phototherapy or early morning sunlight is the main line of treatment for his yellowness to disappear and will happen within ten days
