Patient's question:
When the baby was just born, everything was normal. On the tenth day, the baby's complexion turned yellow, and there was a slight fever. At that time, it was said to be physiological jaundice, and there was no need to worry too much. However, after waiting for two more days, it did not subside. How long does jaundice in newborns completely disappear?Doctor's answer:
Okay, normal newborns will have reasonable jaundice within 2 or 3 days after birth, reaching its peak on the 5th or 6th day, and subsiding within 10 days. Generally, those who do not return for a long time must consider pathological conditions, which may be related to infections, etc. It is recommended to give the baby Antijaud oral liquid, which is a routine medication 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.
