Patient's question:
Baby has been born for ten days. From the third day, jaundice appeared and has not subsided until now. How long does newborn jaundice take to go away?Doctor's answer:
If it is physiological jaundice, it will disappear within half a month. Don't worry too much. Jaundice usually occurs within one week after the child is born. This is due to the deposition of bilirubin on the skin surface. Medically known as neonatal jaundice. Infant jaundice usually subsides after half a month, and in some infants, it may take a full month to disappear. Special attention should be paid to the early onset of skin jaundice, the late persistence of jaundice, the gradual worsening of jaundice, or the recovery of jaundice.
