Patient's question:
Still born today, but the baby's jaundice is particularly severe. The doctor said that if the jaundice is severe, it may affect the child's future growth. Can newborn jaundice resolve on its own?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice usually disappears automatically within 7 to 10 days. If it does not subside, it is recommended to first go to the hospital for a check-up, as neonatal jaundice is a serious congenital disease. However, some medications can enhance the breakdown of jaundice, and the speed can allow children to be exposed to more sunlight in daily life. This is not a major issue, as long as continued monitoring of bilirubin levels is maintained. For relatively severe cases, blue light treatment is the best option.
