Patient's question:
Recently, my child, who was just born, underwent a health check-up. The numerical value of the health check was neonatal jaundice 9.9. I don't really understand what this number proves. Is neonatal jaundice 9.9 normal?Doctor's answer:
Newborn jaundice 9.9 is within the normal range, so there's no need to worry. Just pay more attention to check-ups. This value is within the normal range. There is a curve showing the relationship between jaundice levels and time in newborns. If the baby's jaundice level is 9.8 on the third day after birth, this is normal physiological jaundice. If the baby has jaundice at 2 days or within 2 days of birth, it indicates pathological jaundice. It is speculated that jaundice can be dangerous for the baby. In addition to the measured data, the changes in the baby's jaundice levels should also be observed.
