Question
How Long Does Neonatal Jaundice Last?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice typically lasts for 1 to 2 weeks. It is usually physiological and there is no need to worry. Adequate intake of glucose water can help alleviate the jaundice in the baby. Additionally, appropriate sun exposure can also be beneficial. It is also important to note the intake of breast milk and to regularly take the baby for health checks. If the jaundice persists for more than 2 weeks, or if the baby shows other discomfort symptoms, it should be timely to take the baby to see a doctor.
