Is neonatal jaundice over 200 normal?

Patient's question:

The child has just been born and has jaundice. They went for a check-up. Is it normal for a newborn's jaundice level to be over 200?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the child's bilirubin level is still high. This number does not have a significant impact on the child, but it is necessary to treat the child with more water and more sun exposure. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, otherwise it will definitely affect the baby's brain development. It is recommended to send the child to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. If hospital treatment is needed, phototherapy and liver function tests should be performed.
