Is it serious if a 50-day-old baby has a jaundice level of 14.7?

Patient's question:

Male, 2 months old. Condition description: The baby is 50 days old, and the jaundice hasn't subsided yet. The jaundice level is 14.7. Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

If the newborn's face or body shows yellow symptoms, it is usually neonatal jaundice, caused by bile stagnation. A bilirubin level of 14.7 is not severe. Guidance: While strengthening the child's immunity, the child can be exposed to blue light or stay in the sun for a longer period. I recommend first giving the baby Yinzhihuang oral liquid to see the effect. During this period, drink more water for the baby. If the jaundice subsides, there is no problem. If the jaundice does not subside, it is recommended to undergo blue light therapy.
