Patient's question:
The baby was just born, and their complexion was quite yellow. After a check-up, it was said that the jaundice level was a bit high, but the doctor mentioned that this is a normal condition. At home, you can start by giving the baby some medication and exposing them to more sunlight. If it doesn’t improve, then further treatment can be considered. Will newborn jaundice go away on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal jaundice usually appears around 2-3 days of age, peaks between 5-7 days, and disappears within 10-14 days. Because the doctor said it's normal, there's no big problem. One should trust the doctor's diagnosis, take the yellow medicine, and get plenty of sunlight exposure. If it hasn't disappeared within two weeks, it's recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check. Under normal circumstances, physiological jaundice will be resolved.
