Baby born for 3 days, jaundice value 12.9, is it normal?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask if a baby who is 3 days old with a bilirubin level of 12.9 is normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, jaundice in babies is mainly caused by excessive internal damp-heat, which is related to the high temperature in the womb. You can give the baby some Yinzhihuang Granules appropriately to clear heat and resolve dampness. Additionally, the baby's mother can steep Chrysanthemum, Frangipani, and White Mulberry roots in water to drink as a herbal tea, helping the baby reduce jaundice through breast milk. The baby's mother should avoid spicy and fried foods.
There are many factors that can lead to pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
