19-day-old baby jaundice 13.8 is normal?

Patient's question:

Male infant, 19 days old, feeding and defecating normally.

Doctor's answer:

The jaundice index is generally considered normal if it does not exceed 15 mg/dL. In addition to yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, there are no other symptoms, and it usually subsides without treatment. If the jaundice is slightly elevated, you can take Yinzhihuang Granules or seek hospital treatment with blue light therapy.
The child is troubled by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment and avoid blindly using small advertisements for medication. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help them receive timely medical treatment.
