The normal range of neonatal jaundice and its identification

Under normal circumstances, the neonatal jaundice index should not exceed 12.9. High levels of jaundice may lead to serious complications such as jaundice encephalopathy. Parents are advised to take their child to the hospital for examination and treatment if the jaundice index exceeds the normal range. It is recommended that parents consult a doctor promptly for professional advice.

Mild neonatal jaundice usually resolves within a few days, while severe cases may require longer recovery time. Physiological jaundice generally does not require treatment, but pathological jaundice should be treated promptly.

Neonatal jaundice levels of 14 may be slightly elevated in some cases, but they are usually manageable through medication and adequate feeding.
