Hello, I'm a healthcare professional with experience in addressing various medical conditions. Jaundice, which is a condition where the skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow due to a buildup of a substance called bilirubin, can be caused by different factors such as liver disease, hemolysis, or blockage of the bile ducts. The duration for jaundice to resolve depends on the underlying cause and the treatment provided.

For mild cases, such as those in newborns due to physiological jaundice, it may resolve within a few days to a week without any specific treatment. More severe cases, especially those related to liver dysfunction or blockages, may require medical intervention and can take longer to resolve. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
