Question
How should neonatal jaundice be treated to quickly subside?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice typically begins within 3 days after birth, peaks on the 6th day, and may reappear within 10 days. If jaundice persists for an extended period, it may be indicative of pathological jaundice, possibly related to infections and other factors. It is recommended to administer oral medication, which is a standard hospital procedure. If there is no noticeable improvement after 3 days, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
