How long does newborn jaundice last

Patient's question:

On the third day of birth, jaundice reappeared, but it subsided after a few days. Now at 26 days, the face has turned yellow again, and the whites of the eyes are slightly yellowish. How long does newborn jaundice usually last?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that the newborn baby has pathological jaundice. It is recommended to treat it with traditional Chinese medicine [Yinzhihuang Granules] orally. Pay attention to letting the baby get more sun exposure on the skin. Continuous treatment for more than 1 week is required to recover. In addition to symptomatic treatment, newborn jaundice patients should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
