Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Your condition may be physiological jaundice. In mild cases, it appears pale yellow, limited to the face and neck, or may affect the trunk, and the sclera may also turn yellow. It usually subsides within 2 to 3 days and returns to normal skin color by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, jaundice can spread from the head to the feet, affecting the entire body, and substances like vomit and cerebrospinal fluid may also turn yellow. The duration can last for more than a week, with some premature infants continuing to have jaundice for up to 4 weeks, even with yellow stools and no bilirubin in the urine. It is recommended to use blue light therapy, which can be effective.
