Talk to Pediatrician on Yellowing Of Skin (jaundice) In My Newborn Baby
Asking For Father, Male 6, Gujranwala
Respected doctors, My baby boy is 6 days old and last night I have his bilirubin test done (see attached picture). He is passing stools 3-4 times a day and breast feeding. Do i need to worry about because his bilirubin seems high and he is born at 35 weeks gestational age.
Level is high for premature baby. Better to get him checked as he may need admission for phototherapy

thanks sir for your guidance, i have admitted him for phototherapy. How long would it take to decrease bilirubin level under phototherapy?

It usually depends on the type of jaundice. Physiological jaundice decreases rapidly in a day or two under phototherapy. The stay in hospital would depend on the next bilirubin reading
