Question

How long does it take to treat neonatal physiological jaundice?

Answer

Generally speaking, jaundice may reappear 2 to 3 days after birth, and it reaches its peak around 5 to 6 days. Normally, physiological jaundice should not be lower than 205. If the bilirubin levels are high, it may indicate pathological jaundice. For neonatal physiological jaundice, it is recommended that family members bring the child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and receive treatment under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digestion and vitamin absorption, and helps prevent intestinal discomfort. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
