Question
Does a newborn’s jaundice level reaching three hundred require hospitalization?
Answer
The typical features of physiological jaundice in newborns are that most infants develop jaundice within 2 to 3 days after birth, reaching its peak at 4 to 5 days, and full-term babies usually recover within 7 to 14 days, while premature babies typically take 3 to 4 weeks to recover. Additionally, jaundice is usually mild, and the infants do not have other discomfort symptoms, so parents do not need to be overly concerned. In addition to medication treatment, parents should pay attention to the infant’s dietary management and maintain a good attitude. At the same time, choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment will help achieve better treatment outcomes.
