Patient's question:
Is it necessary to treat neonatal jaundice? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Physiological jaundice is a condition where, after 24 hours of birth, serum bilirubin levels gradually rise from 17 to 51 μmol/L (1 to 3 mg/dL) at birth to 86 μmol/L (5 mg/dL) or higher, with jaundice appearing clinically without other symptoms. Generally, it will resolve on its own within 1-2 weeks. It is recommended not to be overly anxious. First, wait and see. Be vigilant about physiological jaundice to prevent misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis of pathological jaundice.
