Question
How long does it generally take for a 10-day-old baby to recover from jaundice?
Answer
Newborn jaundice is categorized into physiological and pathological types. For physiological jaundice, full-term infants typically see it resolve within 7 to 14 days after birth, while premature infants may take up to 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases, blue light therapy may be required to assist in the baby’s recovery. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery!
