Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask how high the baby's jaundice is above normal.Doctor's answer:
The normal value of neonatal jaundice is based on the reference index of serum bilirubin. For full-term infants, it should not exceed 204 μmol/L (12 mg/dL), and for premature infants, it should not exceed 255 μmol/L (15 mg/dL). If the child is affected by neonatal diseases, parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
