Patient's question:
Doctor, how long does physiological jaundice take to subside? Can it be treated with medication? Is surgery necessary? Are there any good methods? Does anyone have experience with this?Doctor's answer:
The baby's liver is not mature enough to process excess bilirubin, causing the yellow pigment to stay on the skin. Therefore, the baby's skin turns yellow a few days after birth. As long as the baby's bilirubin processing system matures, jaundice will disappear. As long as the baby is eating well, in good spirits, and crying loudly,... babies with breast milk jaundice are usually because they have not suckled enough milk from their mother. The doctor also said to wait for a while, and my baby's jaundice subsided when it was around 50 days old. Jaundice can be divided into physiological and pathological types, and it should be excreted from the urine. If the bilirubin level is too high, it can be diluted to reduce excess bilirubin.
