Patient's question:
My doll is just two months old this year. Recently, I've been feeling a bit unwell. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said it was jaundice. I want to ask, what is the normal range for a baby's jaundice level, and is 260 over the limit?Doctor's answer:
The normal value of jaundice for full-term babies is 12.9 milligrams/100 milliliters, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 milliliters of blood is below 12.9 milligrams. For premature infants, the normal value of jaundice is 15 milligrams/100 milliliters of blood, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 milliliters of blood is below 15 milligrams. Alternatively, you can give the baby oral traditional Chinese medicine liquid. If the symptoms do not improve, it is best to go to a hospital for further diagnosis and examination.
