How long does it take for neonatal jaundice to go away?

If it is not pathological jaundice, it can usually be completed around the full moon, and there are individual differences.

If it is breast milk jaundice, it may last for up to 3 months and can be resolved by stopping breastfeeding.

Yin Chen 3 grams of decoction water, 3 times a day can speed up the speed of jaundice.

Neonatal jaundice refers to the neonatal period, due to the abnormal bilirubin metabolism caused by the increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood and appears in the **, mucosal and scleral jaundice as the characteristic of the disease, the disease is physiological and pathological. Physiological jaundice appears 2 3 days after birth, peaks in 4 6 days, and resolves in 7 to 10 days. If jaundice appears 24 hours after birth, does not go away for 2 to 3 weeks, or even continues to worsen or recur after regression, or jaundice begins to appear within a week to several weeks after birth, it is pathological jaundice.

Hello, my baby also had jaundice before, and then asked the doctor in spring, rain, parenting, and child, which is summarized as follows:

Neonatal jaundice, divided into physiological and pathological, physiological jaundice generally appears in 2-3 days, reaches a peak in 5-7 days, the highest does not exceed, and then slowly subsides, full-term infants subside within 2 weeks at the latest, and premature infants subside at the latest 4 weeks! Pathological jaundice appears early, the degree is relatively severe, and the subsidence is late, according to different **needs to be positive**!

Generally, the full moon will be withdrawn, if it is not withdrawn for 42 days, stop breastfeeding for a few days, my son is like this when he is young, he went to the hospital to prescribe some yellowing medicine, stopped breastfeeding for a week, and it will be withdrawn immediately.

Not necessarily, every baby is different, some retire in ten days and a half, and some take several months.

Generally, physiological jaundice full-term children will retreat within two weeks, and more than two weeks is pathological jaundice.

Jaundice in newborns may be physiological or pathological, although they are both manifested as jaundice, but there is a difference between the two, so the time of retreat is also different, so how long does it take for neonatal jaundice to recede? Read the following article and follow me to find out.

1. Physiological jaundice in newborns

Jaundice begins to appear in newborns 2-3 days after birth, is most obvious after 4-5 days, and naturally resolves in 7-14 days, with good general condition and no adverse reactions, which is called "physiological jaundice". In premature infants, jaundice appears later, around the third or fourth day, and persists because the liver function is more immature. The duration is longer, and jaundice in premature infants can last for 14 days or more.

2. Neonatal breast milk jaundice

Jaundice begins 4-7 days after birth and lasts for about 2 months, mainly with elevated unconjugated bilirubin, and no clinical symptoms.

3. Neonatal pathological jaundice

Pathological jaundice usually appears 24 hours after the baby is born, and this type of jaundice lasts for a long time, and may subside after about 2 to 3, but it may also deepen.

Jaundice is severe, golden yellow or jaundice all over the body, and jaundice is also more obvious in the palms and soles of the feet or serum bilirubin greater than 12-15 mg liters. Those with anemia or pale stool color. Those with abnormal body temperature, poor appetite, vomiting and other manifestations.

If it is physiological jaundice, it is not necessary, if it is pathological jaundice, the main way is to illuminate blue light, so it is necessary to go to the hospital after pediatric treatment**, and re-test percutaneous bilirubin to understand the effect. Pathological jaundice, regardless of the cause, can cause kernicterus in severe cases, and its prognosis is poor, in addition to causing neurological damage, severe can cause death.

Neonatal jaundice is caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the newborn's body and usually appears within a few days of birth. The severity and duration of jaundice varies from person to person, but it usually resolves on its own within a few weeks. The following is the time frame for neonatal jaundice in general:

1.1 to 2 days after birth: About 60% of newborns will develop jaundice, which is caused by the release of bilirubin in the fetus after birth, and usually does not last long.

2.3 to 5 days after birth: the severity of jaundice may peak, especially in breastfed newborns. This is because some substances in breast milk can affect the excretion of bilirubin, but under normal circumstances, jaundice gradually decreases.

3.1 to 2 weeks after birth: Most newborns' jaundice will begin to subside during this period, and gradually return to normal before clearing.

If your baby's jaundice lasts longer than expected, or if the jaundice continues to worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor promptly to determine if further evaluation and** is needed. The doctor can determine if there are any problems by checking your baby's jaundice level and give you appropriate advice and guidance.
