Patient's question:
My friend's child has that hasn't gone away after about 60 days, and it appeared again right after birth. They've been eating Yin Zhi Huang for over ten days, but it hasn't improved. Hello, how long does typically last for a newborn born at 37 weeks?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice can be divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Physiological jaundice usually appears in full-term newborns 2-5 days after birth and typically resolves within 14 days. In premature infants, it may persist for up to 3-4 weeks. Additionally, the level of serum bilirubin in full-term infants should not exceed 205 μmol/L (12 mg/dL), while in premature infants, it should not exceed 257 μmol/L (15 mg/dL).
