How long does newborn hemolytic jaundice last?

Patient's question:

My baby seems to have newborn hemolytic jaundice. I don't know how long it will take for this condition to improve. I want to understand a bit. Because my child is different from others. I'm a bit worried about my child. Hello doctor, how long does newborn hemolytic jaundice take to heal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking: If a newborn develops hemolytic jaundice, with active treatment, if the jaundice is mild, it can often heal on its own. If it is slightly more severe, it may take about a month to recover. If a child has hemolytic jaundice, it is important to promptly return to the pediatric department of the hospital for follow-up. Depending on the severity of the illness, follow the doctor's advice for treatment and give the child more glucose water to drink.
