Patient's question:
What is the order in which newborn jaundice subsides? For this type of condition, how should I proceed with treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, newborns will develop jaundice within 24 hours after birth, primarily slightly yellow in the eyes, face, body, and other areas. It typically reaches its peak around one week and gradually fades within a few hours, though it is never expected to last less than two weeks. If jaundice reappears earlier than expected and remains very yellow for less than two weeks, it may be considered pathological jaundice and require treatment such as combined jaundice-reducing decoctions and blue light therapy to avoid interfering with brain development.
