Question

How to handle high jaundice in newborns?

Answer

Newborn jaundice can be either physiological or pathological. Physiological jaundice usually appears 2 to 3 days after birth, with the skin and whites of the eyes turning yellow, and it typically resolves on its own within a week. Pathological jaundice may require medical intervention, such as blue light therapy. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
