Patient's question:
My little nephew, who was born less than a month ago, looks very healthy. He is eating and drinking normally, and he rarely cries. His nighttime sleep is also very normal. But in recent days, he has developed jaundice on his face. How long will it take for the baby's jaundice to go away?Doctor's answer:
Hello, parent. It is very normal for newborn infants to develop jaundice, which usually naturally subsides within a week or a few weeks. Parents need to observe closely. If the baby shows no other reactions, the jaundice is physiological, and it will naturally resolve on its own. However, if the baby cries incessantly and is very agitated, the jaundice is pathological, and medication control is needed to resolve it.
