My second child is 23 days old. He was only 2200gm at birth. He developed jaundice on the 3rd day after birth. His weight gain is good. He is 2900gm on his 23rd day. Dr has taken direct bilurubin test and it was normal. But still there is some yellow colour in his eyes and face. How long will it take to disappear?
