Patient's question:
Little baby has been facing jaundice since birth, which has been a matter I have been concerned about so far. Although it has improved now, it has not disappeared yet. I would like to ask how many days it takes for the baby's jaundice to subside?Doctor's answer:
The baby has jaundice. There are many causes of jaundice, and the specific duration it takes to subside depends on the cause of the jaundice and the baby's specific condition. It cannot be generalized. It is recommended to actively treat the jaundice in the baby. Depending on the severity of the jaundice, options such as hospitalization for blue light therapy or oral medication to control the jaundice can be chosen. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening care and avoiding overheating. If the jaundice index rises too quickly, or persists for more than two weeks without subsiding, or if the baby does not feed well, it is necessary to seek medical attention to further examine the cause and provide jaundice treatment.
