Question

How long does neonatal jaundice last?

Answer

Neonatal jaundice usually fades gradually within one to two weeks. If it has not disappeared after about a week, parents should not be overly concerned, as jaundice begins to appear in newborns 2-3 days after birth and gradually reaches its peak before starting to fade. To speed up the fading of jaundice, parents can try appropriate sunbathing. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
