Patient's question:
My daughter developed jaundice on her third day after birth. Further examination confirmed it was jaundice. I'd like to ask, in this case, if there are no other complications, how many days does it usually take for it to subside?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to the situation you described, the baby developed jaundice three days after birth. There are many causes of pathological jaundice, such as jaundice caused by incompatible hemolytic disease, jaundice caused by neonatal hepatitis syndrome, jaundice caused by delayed fetal bowel movement, and so on. It is recommended to identify the cause and then carry out targeted treatment. The specific jaundice should subside within a few days, and the decision should be based on the baby's own condition.
