Patient's question:
My little baby just got born, the doctor said jaundice is 260, but I don't know what that means. I don't have much experience, so is jaundice 260 serious? How long does it take to go away?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice is a very common phenomenon. Generally, within the normal range of neonatal jaundice, it does not affect the body. Of course, if it is severe, medical attention should be sought in a timely manner. You said neonatal jaundice is best to go to the hospital. The normal value of jaundice in full-term newborns is generally 12.9 mg/100 ml, meaning the bilirubin level in 100 ml of blood is lower than 12.9 mg. When jaundice persists for more than 14 days in full-term infants or 4 weeks in premature infants beyond this time, or when jaundice returns after subsiding.
