Is the total bilirubin level of 192.7μmol/L for a newborn normal?

Patient's question:

Hello, infant total bilirubin is 192.7H, is it normal? Is there any good method for treatment? Please give advice to the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Every newborn goes through a yellow gallbladder period, meaning their facial skin and eyes are yellowish and white. This can be either obvious or invisible to the naked eye, and is medically referred to as physiological jaundice. Yellow jaundice begins 2-3 days after birth, peaks between 4-6 days, and disappears between 10-14 days. If jaundice appears prematurely, persists longer than expected, or is severe, it is considered pathological jaundice and requires medical examination and treatment.
