Question
Is a newborn’s jaundice level of 14.2 normal?
Answer
Newborn jaundice is typically categorized as physiological or pathological. For full-term infants, it usually resolves between 7 to 14 days, while premature infants may take up to 2 to 3 weeks to clear. If you’re concerned about a high jaundice index, regular check-ups are recommended, and blue light therapy may be considered if necessary. Maintain observation and follow medical advice for the best health outcomes.
