Doctor's answer:

Most babies develop jaundice about 3 days after birth, which is physiological jaundice and usually disappears after about 14 days. There is no need to do anything about it, and the prognosis is also very good.
If jaundice occurs within 24 hours after birth, if the jaundice is severe and progresses rapidly, and if jaundice reappears after it fades, then consider pathological jaundice. If you are unsure about your baby's condition, it is recommended to see a doctor to avoid delaying the treatment.
