Patient's question:
Is jaundice serious?Doctor's answer:
Newborns will experience physiological jaundice about three days after birth, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to panic. Generally, it lasts for 2 to 3 days, with the peak occurring between 4 to 5 days, and it usually resolves within 7 to 14 days, which is considered normal. Premature or low birth weight infants may take about a month to recover to a normal state. If there are no other abnormal changes in the newborn, treatment is not necessary, and it will naturally improve.
