Patient's question:
My son just turned three days old. He had a physical examination, and everything is normal except for jaundice. Most of his skin is yellow, making him look like a little yellow person. What causes jaundice in newborns? How long does it usually take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, jaundice on the third day of a child's birth could be either physiological or pathological. If the child is eating well, the problem is not severe. Whether medication should be taken can be determined based on the child's examination. During this period, the child should drink some water and get some sun. Generally, symptoms will improve within one to two weeks. This is also beneficial for the baby's healthy and happy growth.
