Patient's question:
My sister just gave birth today, and the baby has quite severe jaundice. How long does infant jaundice usually take to subside?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice in infants can be either physiological or pathological. In most cases, it usually resolves within about two weeks. It is important to closely monitor the condition, ensure frequent hydration, exposure to sunlight, and regular feeding, while also providing sufficient deep sleep. If the jaundice persists beyond two weeks, hospitalization for treatment may be necessary. Patients should receive systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition. This will allow for targeted treatment and ensure a quicker recovery.
