The skin of a newborn is 15.8. Is this jaundice too high?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of symptoms, and I am very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. Please ask, if the baby's skin is 15.8, is it jaundice?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the examination results you described, the jaundice index has decreased, and discharge can be considered. It is recommended to get more sun exposure, drink more water, take some medication to reduce jaundice, and have regular follow-up check-ups. It usually takes about 2 weeks to recover from jaundice. The labia of the infant should be pink, close to the color of the skin. It is important to clean the child regularly. Additionally, the use of hormone-based medications should be minimized, as they can affect the baby's growth and development. I hope this helps.
