Question
Is a jaundice index of 13 in newborns normal?
Answer
A jaundice index of 13 in newborns is not too high, and methods such as drinking glucose water and exposing them to more sunlight can be tried to alleviate jaundice. However, if the index is high or persists without improvement, it is recommended to undergo phototherapy or seek professional medical assistance to avoid any adverse effects on the baby.
