Question
What are the normal symptoms in newborns?
Answer
Normal symptoms that newborns may exhibit include yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), which typically appears within one to two weeks after birth and resolves spontaneously within a few weeks. For full-term infants, jaundice usually disappears within two weeks after birth; for premature infants, it may take up to three weeks. These conditions usually do not require special treatment, but they should be closely monitored to prevent the jaundice from persisting or worsening. If the jaundice persists beyond the expected time or if the infant exhibits other unusual symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice promptly to determine if it is pathological jaundice or other potential health issues.
