Question
My little one was born with jaundice that hasn’t gone away, and I want to know how long jaundice typically takes to resolve itself.
Answer
The duration for neonatal jaundice to resolve varies depending on the cause and individual differences; it cannot be generalized. It is recommended to treat the baby’s specific condition, such as seeking medical attention promptly if the bilirubin level rises rapidly, persists for over two weeks, or affects the baby’s feeding, in order to further investigate the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
