Patient's question:
Baby was born on the third day, jaundice level detected at 16, blood test revealed hemolytic disease. Hospitalized for a week, jaundice is still unstable. How long does it take to bring it below 10?Doctor's answer:
Most babies will experience jaundice again around 3 days after birth, which is physiological jaundice. It usually fades away in about 14 days and does not require any treatment, with a good prognosis. If jaundice reappears within 24 hours after birth, with a high level of jaundice and rapid progression, followed by recurrence after it fades, it should be considered pathological jaundice. If you are unsure about your baby's condition, it is recommended to see a doctor to avoid delaying the treatment.
