Question
After giving birth, Sister San was almost ready to be discharged after three days, but the baby developed jaundice again. The hospital doctor said the baby couldn’t be discharged and needed to be hospitalized for treatment. How long does it take for a baby with neonatal jaundice to recover and be discharged from the hospital?
Answer
Dear parent. The baby has developed a high level of jaundice after birth, which requires medication control, sun exposure, drinking glucose water, and probiotics. If the condition is severe, it may require hospitalization for blue light therapy. The doctor suggests observing for another three days before discharge after improvement.
