Question
Will there be any sequelae after the jaundice subsides in newborns?
Answer
Physiological jaundice in newborns is usually not severe, characterized by: jaundice typically appears 2-3 days after birth, peaks on the 4th to 6th day, and resolves within 2 weeks. The serum bilirubin level is below the normal value. If a newborn’s jaundice meets these characteristics, parents need not be overly concerned. There are generally no sequelae after blood exchange therapy, but it is necessary to follow medical instructions for subsequent observation and treatment.
