Patient's question:
Now that the child has been born for about three or four days, the jaundice is relatively more when they first arrive. In the hospital, they learned about the treatment for a period of time, but a good friend came home and became increasingly anxious about whether the jaundice would gradually improve and about the child's health issues. What are the common symptoms of neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice includes physiological jaundice, which appears again 2-3 days after birth, reaches its peak between 4-6 days, and disappears within 7-10 days. Premature infants have a longer duration, with slight loss of appetite but no other clinical symptoms. If jaundice reappears within 24 hours after birth, persists for 2-3 weeks without improvement, or fades and then reappears again, or if it does not appear until 7 days to several weeks after birth, it is considered pathological jaundice.
