Question
How Does the Jaundice in Newborns Subside?
Answer
Under normal circumstances, newborns will develop jaundice within 24 hours after birth, primarily manifesting as a slight yellowing of the eyes, face, and body. It typically reaches its peak within a week and then gradually subsides. Usually, the jaundice should subside within two weeks. If jaundice appears too early or subsides too slowly, and remains very yellow after more than two weeks, this may be a sign of pathological jaundice. Treatment methods such as jaundice decoction and blue light therapy should be combined to avoid potential impacts on brain development.
