Question
Doctor, how long does it take for physiological jaundice to disappear? Can medication be taken? Do you need surgery, and what are some good methods? Do you have any insights?
Answer
A baby’s liver is not mature enough to process excess bilirubin, causing bilirubin to remain in the skin. That’s why the baby’s skin turns yellow after three to four days of birth. Once the baby’s bilirubin processing system matures, jaundice will disappear. As long as the baby is feeding well, is in good spirits, and cries loudly… Babies with breast milk jaundice are usually those who have not received enough milk from their mother. The doctor also said that my baby was about 50 days old when it subsided. Jaundice can be divided into physiological and pathological types, allowing it to be excreted through urine. If the bilirubin levels are too high, dilute the excess bilirubin.
