Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, physiological jaundice appears 2 to 3 days after birth, peaks between 4 to 6 days, and disappears within 7 to 10 days. Premature infants have a longer duration, with only mild loss of appetite as the primary clinical symptom. If jaundice appears within 24 hours after birth and persists for 2 to 3 weeks without improvement, worsens, reappears after initially fading, or begins only after 1 to several weeks, it is considered pathological jaundice. For physiological jaundice, early breastfeeding is recommended, while pathological jaundice should be treated with hospital phototherapy or traditional Chinese medicine.
