Under worst conditions, a small amount of red blood cell destruction occurs, called &#8220;chronic hemolysis.&#8221; In this condition, your healthcare provider recommends a medication called folic acid &#8211; a vitamin supplement that boosts the bone marrow to increase red blood cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Typically, in the case of a newborn baby, your healthcare professional suggests some therapies, such as phototherapy (a natural or artificial light treatment).
