Question
What is the basic normal range for newborn jaundice?
Answer
The jaundice index in newborns typically decreases gradually to the normal range, usually reaching normal levels within two weeks after birth. The normal range may vary by region and hospital, but generally, within 14 days, the jaundice index should drop below 12.9 mg/dL. If the index exceeds this range, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further examination and treatment.
