Patient's question:
Born for a month, on the fourth day of birth, the doctor said jaundice was 14. After taking Yinzhihuang Granules for three or five days, I stopped taking it when I saw it wasn't yellow. Please ask, how much jaundice is considered normal for a newborn?Doctor's answer:
The units of these two values are different. 120 is in mool/l, while 05.8 and 04.4 are in mg/dL. They are all within the normal range. The values you see are not 0.58 or 0.44, but should be 5.8 and 4.4. These are normal values, as long as the jaundice level is below 6.0 mg/dL, it is considered normal. For newborns with severe jaundice, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications to treat jaundice, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
