Overview
Brief Summary
This will be a randomized clinical trial including 150 neonates diagnosed with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Patients will be randomized to two groups - phototherapy with oral probiotics (Darolac) and phototherapy alone through stratified randomization. Serum Bilirubin Levels (SBL) at the time of intervention, 24, 48, and 72 hours later, duration of phototherapy, duration of hospitalization, and any side effect related to intervention will be assessed and compared in the two groups
