What is the normal value of jaundice in newborns?

Patient's question:

Born on the second day, measured jaundice at 13.9. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Blue light therapy for 2 days, currently total bilirubin is 252.2; indirect bilirubin is 238.1. Is the treatment effective?

Doctor's answer:

A 29-day-old infant currently has a total bilirubin level of 252.2 and an indirect bilirubin level of 238.1, which falls under pathological jaundice.
1. I do not know the bilirubin level before phototherapy and cannot assess its effectiveness.
2. Based on the current bilirubin levels, it is necessary to continue treatment and investigate the cause of jaundice for targeted treatment.
The above is the advice regarding the "normal values for neonatal jaundice." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
