Question
My sister just had a baby, and I went to visit her at home. The baby’s jaundice seemed particularly severe. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was 270. I’m not sure if that’s high or low, so I want to understand the Newborn Jaundice Value Reference Table 270?
Answer
It’s on the high side for newborns. There are two types: one that can resolve on its own and another that requires treatment. You should go to the hospital to check which category your baby falls into. Early treatment is necessary. Pay close attention to observe your baby’s bowel movements, encourage your baby to drink more water, get more sunlight, ensure your baby gets enough rest, keep your baby in a cheerful mood, and engage in appropriate physical activities with your baby.
