Patient's question:
Hello! I'd like to ask if a bilirubin level of 6.3 is normal? My baby's bilirubin level is 6.3. What level of bilirubin is considered normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborns develop jaundice due to abnormal metabolism of bilirubin in the body. Currently, if the child is two months old and the jaundice level is still 6.3, it is basically within the normal range and not too high, but there is still some jaundice present. In this case, it is recommended to give the child more warm water and expose them to some sunlight appropriately.It is advised that if a newborn has jaundice, it is essential to actively undergo medical examination to rule out the possibility of pathological jaundice, and then proceed with treatment.
