Patient's question:
My son has just been born for three days. He had a physical examination and everything is normal, except for jaundice. Most of his skin is yellow. He looks just like a little yellow person. What is the cause of jaundice in newborns? How long does it usually take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This friend. The jaundice on the third day of the child's birth could be physiological or pathological. If the child's diet is good, the problem is not serious. Whether to take medicine can be decided based on the child's examination. During this period, the child should drink some water and get some sun. Generally, the symptoms will improve within one to two weeks. This is also beneficial for the baby's healthy and happy growth.
