Patient's question:
Baby has been born for seven days now, and when the doctor checked the baby at the hospital, he said that our baby's bilirubin level is 1. I want to know if a newborn's bilirubin level of 14 is normal?Doctor's answer:
Although it is normal for newborns to experience jaundice again, the main thing to look at is whether the jaundice level of the newborn is severe. If a baby who is seven days old is at the peak of jaundice and the value reaches 1, it is indeed a bit high. Medications can be given to the child, and they should be well-fed. Encourage the child to urinate and defecate frequently. At the same time, it is recommended to use jaundice-reducing medications, such as Yinzhihuang Oral Liquid. Take one-third at a time, three times a day.
