Patient's question:
My baby is fifteen days old. Recently, when I took them to the hospital for a jaundice check-up, the jaundice index was 399. My family and I are very worried about the baby's health. I want to ask if a jaundice index of 399 is dangerous for the baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the jaundice levels of babies with different gestational ages, different ages, and different diseases are all different. In other words, the normal jaundice level of each baby after birth varies daily. Therefore, the necessity of diagnosis and treatment should be determined based on the patient's age and condition. The fastest and most effective method for treating jaundice is blue light therapy, which requires hospitalization. Parents can also let the baby get more sun exposure during daily life.
