Question
What Does a Newborn Jaundice Level of 230 at 10 Days Mean?
Answer
A newborn jaundice level of 230 within 10 days is normal, as newborns are relatively healthy at this stage. If jaundice occurs, it is considered normal. However, if this condition persists, it generally indicates that the jaundice index does not exceed 15, but a level of 230 is above the normal range. We can go to a regular hospital pediatric department for examination to determine the cause of the jaundice. We can choose medication and phototherapy based on the examination results. If it is hemolytic jaundice, we can adopt blood transfusion therapy, and the specific treatment should be carried out according to the doctor’s recommendations.
