Is it normal for a 14-day-old baby to have jaundice in their eyes?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, if it is physiological jaundice, it will resolve on its own. If it is pathological jaundice, treatment to reduce jaundice is needed, such as phototherapy. If there is no significant improvement after a week, it is likely pathological.
Recommendation: Expose to ultraviolet light, but wear eye protection and keep the exposure time to about 5 minutes. It should improve within a few days. Hospitals usually provide blue light treatment, which typically lasts for three days to resolve jaundice. During blue light therapy, intravenous glucose injections may also be administered.
