Question
My baby is 15 days old, and recently when I went to the hospital to check the baby’s jaundice, the jaundice index was 399. My family and I are very worried about the baby’s health. I want to know, is a baby’s jaundice level of 399 dangerous?
Answer
Jaundice levels vary among different gestational ages, ages, and diseases, meaning that each baby’s normal jaundice level is different every day after birth. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment necessity should be determined based on the patient’s age and condition. The fastest and most effective method for treating jaundice is blue light therapy, which requires hospitalization. Parents can also allow their babies to get more sunlight during daily activities.
