Patient's question:
When the baby was just born, everything was normal. On the tenth day, the baby's skin turned yellow, and he had a slight fever. At that time, it was said to be physiological jaundice, and there was no need to worry too much. But after waiting for two more days, it did not subside. How long does jaundice completely disappear in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Okay, normal newborns will have reasonable jaundice within 2 or 3 days after birth. It peaks around 5 or 6 days and subsides within 10 days. Generally speaking, those who do not return for a long time should consider pathological conditions. This may be related to infections, etc. It is recommended to give the baby Antijaud oral liquid. This is the standard medication used in hospitals. If there is no improvement after taking it for two or three days, you should go to the hospital. Installing a blue light bulb at home is not helpful.
