Patient's question:
The baby was born with some yellowness all over, and her little face was also yellow. I took her to see a doctor, and the doctor said it was neonatal jaundice. They did some thorough tests, and the results showed a jaundice level of 13.8. Hello, is a neonatal jaundice level of 13.8 high?Doctor's answer:
Newborn physiological jaundice usually reappears in 2~3 days, and it reached its peak in my case after 7 days, disappearing around 14 days. The jaundice level is 13.8, which is slightly high but not extremely so. It's important to pay close attention, monitor the changes in jaundice levels, and have the child exposed to more sunlight if possible. If conditions allow, you can also teach the child to undergo blue light therapy to help reduce jaundice.
