Doctor Subhadipa Das ,  Physiological jaundice go away by two weeks in term baby . and by three weeks in preterm baby . So this two weeks or three weeks in which the jaundice go away Does it  mean when term  baby is 2 weeks old and preterm baby 3 weeks old at this age go away ? Or does it mean when jaundice occur after that it will go away by two weeks in term baby and will go away by  3 weeks in preterm baby ?
