Is neonatal jaundice at 15.2 severe?

Patient's question:

My wife gave birth to a child yesterday. The baby has jaundice. The jaundice level is 15.2, and I don't know if it's serious. I'm not very knowledgeable about this. I'm getting older, and I don't understand many things well. The child I gave birth to didn't have this situation. Could you please ask the doctor if neonatal jaundice at 15.2 is serious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend, your newborn's jaundice level is a bit high at 15.2, so it is recommended to seek medical attention at the local neonatal department and undergo blue light treatment. Additionally, blood type and other related tests need to be improved to clarify the cause. Furthermore, it is necessary to cooperate with the return of medications, including anti-yellow medicine and probiotics. Additionally, attention should be paid to the baby's milk intake and psychological response.
