Doctor's answer:
Most newborns experience jaundice again 2 to 3 days after birth, with the recurrence not exceeding the 5th day. If jaundice reappears after the 5th day, it should be considered pathological. Moreover, jaundice is most prominent around the 4 to 5th day, and it usually fades away between 10 to 14 days after birth. Physiological jaundice is generally mild and does not accompany other discomfort symptoms. You can try bathing with 20g each of Bupleurum, Gardenia, Rhubarb, and Stonecrop, decocted in water.
