Question
Based on the situation you described, my daughter developed a yellowish tint on her face just three days after birth. I want to know how long it usually takes for jaundice to subside in this situation.
Answer
According to your description, your baby has developed jaundice three days after birth. Pathological jaundice can have various causes, such as incompatibility hemolytic disease, neonatal hepatitis syndrome, or jaundice caused by delayed fetal meconium excretion. It is recommended to first determine the specific cause and then carry out targeted treatment. Specific jaundice typically subsides within a few days, with the exact time depending on the baby’s own condition.
