Is it normal for a baby to have jaundice at 36 days?

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 issues, and I am very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. Please ask, is a bilirubin level of 36 days normal for the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Many babies also put their small hands in their mouths. Dr. Pang said that babies who cannot yet speak may "tell" adults their discomfort in this way, and this discomfort may be a foreign body sensation. Additionally, since children tend to lie flat while sleeping, nasal mucus is likely to flow into the throat, which may cause dry coughing. Cold air can also irritate the baby's throat, leading to dry coughing.
