Patient's question:
Is a newborn with defects usually have high jaundice levels? Do they need to be treated in the hospital? How long does the treatment take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Not necessarily. Most babies will develop physiological jaundice within one week after birth, and it will naturally subside after a week. In normal full-term newborns, jaundice typically appears on the second or third day after birth and reaches its peak on the fifth day. However, many hospitals now have neonatal departments that can effectively treat jaundice to help it subside. Sunlight and drinking water mixed with glucose powder can also help reduce jaundice.
