Patient's question:
My baby has been born for 15 days, but I noticed some yellowing on his face. Then my husband took him to the hospital for a check-up. The newborn's bilirubin level was 317. I don't know if it's considered serious.Doctor's answer:
Most newborns are naturally prone to jaundice. With a jaundice level of 317, if it's not particularly severe, it's essential to follow the doctor's advice. You can take some jaundice medication and eliminate the jaundice through bowel movements and urination. It's also important to make sure the child drinks plenty of water and gets plenty of sunlight, which is beneficial for jaundice. Jaundice in newborns is relatively normal, so there's no need to worry too much as parents. Regular follow-up check-ups for the child are sufficient.
