1. How long does it take for neonatal physiological jaundice to subside
Neonatal physiological jaundice. Generally, full-term newborns have physiological jaundice within ten years of birth. It begins to subside in about 14 days and can completely subside in about 14 days. If it is a premature baby, the time for jaundice to completely subside is about 28 days. If the jaundice does not subside within a certain period of time, it should be considered to be pathological jaundice, and the baby should be taken to the hospital for blue light treatment.
2. It is normal for newborns to develop jaundice after a few days
Jaundice in newborns usually subsides in about a week. If it is pathological jaundice, it may persist during the confinement period, and the symptoms may become more and more serious. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for examination. With regular medication under the guidance of a doctor, even pathological symptoms will be relieved after taking medication, so don\’t be too nervous. This is relatively common.
OK, this article ends here, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
