Is it normal for a newborn to have a jaundice test at 14 points every day?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a newborn to have a jaundice test every 14 days? I'm very worried. My child has been like this for a long time, and I'm afraid it will get worse.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child's jaundice is abnormal. Is the child full-term? What is the child's blood type, and what is the mother's blood type? Is the amniotic fluid cloudy? These are all factors that affect jaundice. The jaundice in children is usually caused by infectious factors or hemolytic factors. If the jaundice is this high within less than a day, it is very serious and definitely requires hospital treatment. In severe cases, a blood transfusion may be necessary.
