Question
The baby was born just 10 days ago and has been diagnosed with hemolytic jaundice. How long does it usually take for neonatal hemolytic jaundice to heal?
Answer
Neonatal hemolytic jaundice typically resolves within one to two weeks of treatment, and discharge from the hospital can be considered once the bilirubin levels return to normal. It is recommended to actively adopt surgical, anti-hemolysis, and phototherapy treatments to extend the duration of treatment as much as possible. Generally, neonatal hemolytic jaundice will recover on its own, and there is no need to be overly concerned. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, so it is advisable for patients to visit a regular level-A tertiary hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to receive targeted treatment and recover as soon as possible.
