Question
Is a newborn jaundice level of 14.1 too high?
Answer
If a newborn’s jaundice level is 14.1, it is outside the normal range. Therefore, it is necessary to provide timely and effective treatment to control the increase in jaundice levels and manage the progression of the condition. Newborn jaundice is categorized into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. Once diagnosed, immediate and effective treatment must be administered to avoid severe consequences or complications due to delays in the optimal treatment window.
