Question

Are neonatal jaundice levels of 14 normal?

Answer

While it is normal for newborns to have jaundice, it’s important to assess the severity of the jaundice levels. If a baby’s jaundice level reaches 14 by the seventh day after birth, it is indeed a bit elevated. Medication and adequate feeding can help the baby excrete more. It is also recommended to use jaundice-reducing drugs such as Yinzhihuang Oral Solution, taken three times a day, with each dose being one-third of the bottle.
