Question
I took my baby for a check-up and found that the newborn jaundice total value is 170. Is this value normal? How should I handle it?
Answer
The newborn jaundice total value of 170 is somewhat elevated, exceeding the normal standard range. Based on the doctor’s specific judgment, we recommend that you take your baby to the hospital for blue light therapy as soon as possible and check for any liver function issues. If there are liver function abnormalities, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments may be required. Additionally, providing adequate water to the child can also help in jaundice reduction. Please closely follow the doctor’s advice and treat promptly.
