Except for mild loss of appetite, there are no other clinical symptoms. If jaundice occurs within 24 hours after birth and does not subside within 2-3 weeks, or if it recurs even after deepening or subsiding, or if jaundice only begins 1 week to several weeks after birth, these are all cases of pathological jaundice.Treatment for neonatal jaundice:
