Question
My baby was born on the eighth day, and the bilirubin index exceeded 210 on the third day. After two days of blue light therapy, it dropped to 170 and was discharged. However, at home, the bilirubin index has been rising daily, and today it has reached 318. During this period, probiotics have been continuously taken.
