Patient's question:
I just had a baby a few months ago, and I still noticed that my baby looks a bit yellow, and it hasn't gone down for a long time. Then I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said the baby's bilirubin level is 12. I want to know if a bilirubin level of 12 is normal for a baby?Doctor's answer:
The baby's jaundice level is 12, which is relatively high. However, this issue is quite common. In severe cases, it may lead to damage to the baby's nervous system. Therefore, it is important to promptly identify these conditions and seek medical treatment at a hospital in a timely manner. Through the treatment provided by the attending physician, the condition can be well controlled. There is no need to worry excessively. Sun exposure can be beneficial for reducing jaundice. It is also necessary to determine whether the jaundice is caused by breast milk jaundice. Monitor the changes in the baby's jaundice levels.
