How long does neonatal jaundice 320 take to subside?

Patient's question:

How long does it take for neonatal jaundice with a level of over 320 to subside?

Doctor's answer:

A newborn with a bilirubin level of 320 is relatively high and may have a possibility of pathological jaundice. Treatment through blue light therapy is required. The duration of jaundice fading depends on the child's condition and constitution. Generally, symptoms may improve after 1 to 2 weeks of treatment. It is recommended to perform a bilirubin level test approximately once a week during treatment, and additional care should be provided based on the recovery progress.
