Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Different types of jaundice appear at different times. Physiological jaundice generally appears around 3 days after birth, with a few cases starting to show mild yellowing of the skin on the second day or delayed until the fifth day after birth. The symptoms gradually worsen, usually becoming most noticeable 2-3 days after jaundice appears. In contrast, pathological jaundice typically appears within 24 hours after birth. If a newborn develops jaundice within a few hours after birth, with the earliest appearance on the sclera and face, it suggests a dangerous sign.
