A baby who is 20 days old still has a yellow complexion. How can this be resolved?

Patient's question:

The sky is already starting to turn yellow. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Not concerned about any help: Taking some medicine at the hospital shows some improvement but it's still yellow. Hello doctor, how can it be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Most babies will experience jaundice again around 3 days after birth, which is physiological jaundice. It usually fades away around 14 days and does not require any treatment, with a good prognosis.
Advice: If jaundice appears again within 24 hours after birth, if the jaundice is severe and progresses rapidly, and if it recurs after fading, then it may be pathological jaundice. If you are unsure about your baby's condition, it is recommended to see a doctor to avoid delaying the treatment. Wishing you good health.
