Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:The newborn's face is yellow, but their hands and feet are not. Their sclera has been yellow for 8 days. How many days does it take for jaundice in newborns to disappear?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, physiological jaundice in newborns usually reappears two to three days after birth and reaches its peak within three to five days, then fades away between seven to nine days, with the longest duration not exceeding two weeks. If there is jaundice, pay attention to monitoring the data and jaundice level. If the jaundice is too high, it may lead to bilirubin encephalopathy in newborns, affecting brain growth and development. Please observe the baby's condition carefully and monitor the jaundice level. If the jaundice is too high, blue light treatment is required.
