Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my sister's baby has just been born for 2 days. Today, when the doctor checked in, they said the baby has jaundice. My sister is very worried and scared. I would like to ask the doctor when newborn jaundice usually appears?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this family member, the jaundice of the above infants may be caused by breastfeeding. Generally, as long as blue light treatment is used, it can be resolved. In this case, it usually gradually disappears within 4 weeks, and the health recovers. By taking probiotic drinks to promote gastrointestinal motility and enhance physiological metabolic function, the jaundice in infants can be eliminated. Generally, jaundice symptoms appear 3-6 days after birth.
