Question
My child was born with jaundice, and we went for a check-up. Is it normal for a newborn’s jaundice level to be over 200?
Answer
Based on your description, the child’s bilirubin level is still elevated. This level does not have a particularly significant impact on the child, but we recommend treating the child by drinking more water and exposing them to more sunlight. If not treated promptly, it will definitely affect the baby’s brain development. We recommend that you take the child to the hospital as soon as possible. If hospital treatment is required, phototherapy and liver function tests may be necessary.
