Patient's question:
My baby was just born a few days ago. A few days later, we noticed her turning yellow. We took her to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said she has high neonatal jaundice and needs to be hospitalized for several days. Doctor, how many days does hospitalization for high neonatal jaundice usually last? Will it come back after treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, there is no specific time for this, as it depends on the severity of the illness. Generally, the treatment for jaundice can allow discharge from the hospital after about a week, but it varies from person to person. After treatment, it is highly unlikely to relapse, unless other diseases are involved. Actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment methods and visit according to the doctor's guidance. You can also express more milk to give to the baby to drink, which can also ensure contraception after discharge.
