Question
My baby is just two months old. A few days ago, we took them to the Qiyi Hospital for a check-up, and there were no other issues, but the bilirubin level was 205. I’m not sure if this is normal or not.
Answer
If the bilirubin index of the baby is 205, this value is slightly elevated, but parents should not be overly concerned because this level is only slightly high, which is typically physiological jaundice. As long as you ensure the baby drinks more water, gets more breastfeeding, and gets more sun exposure, it can promote the excretion of bilirubin. Usually, within a week, the bilirubin level will return to normal. However, if the bilirubin index rises rapidly, this may indicate pathological jaundice, and in this case, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for immediate treatment.
