Question

How long does the jaundice subsidence period last in infants?

Answer

The jaundice subsidence period in mild cases usually resolves within 2 to 3 days, with the skin color returning to normal by the 5th to 6th day. In severe cases, it may last for more than a week, and in some premature infants, it can extend up to 4 weeks. Blue light therapy is recommended as it may be effective.
