Question
Babies face the issue of jaundice right after birth. This has been a matter of concern for me. Although there has been some improvement, the jaundice has not subsided. I would like to ask, when can newborn jaundice subside?
Answer
It is known that newborns can have jaundice. There are many causes for jaundice, and the specific duration for it to disappear depends on the cause of the jaundice and the baby’s specific condition. It cannot be generalized. It is recommended to actively treat the baby. Depending on the severity of the jaundice, blue light therapy or oral medication can be used. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening care, avoiding fever. You can give the baby some glucose water appropriately. Also, appropriate sun exposure can accelerate the subsidence of jaundice.
