Is a baby's jaundice index of 19.1 normal?

Patient's question:

The baby just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if the baby's jaundice index of 19.1 is normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you mentioned, if the child's bilirubin level is high, it is recommended to go to the hospital for jaundice treatment. The treatment can involve blue light exposure and taking Yinzhihuang oral liquid together. Persist with the treatment and lower the bilirubin level to below 18 for it to be considered relatively safe. The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to observe the child's symptom changes and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
