Symptoms of pathological jaundice in infants typically appear within 24 hours after birth and often cause yellowing of the skin, sclera, and other areas. Some babies may also experience drowsiness or seizures. For infants with pathological jaundice, phototherapy using blue light is an effective treatment that helps promote the excretion of unconjugated bilirubin. Additionally, maintaining clean and hygienic skin care for the baby is important during recovery.
