Jaundice at 10 days of age 17 mg/dl is not considered high

The jaundice value of 17mg/dl at 10 days of birth is slightly higher than the normal value, and it is recommended to take the newborn to a specialized hospital as soon as possible to cooperate with the doctor for treatment.

When the newborn is just born, the bilirubin in the body can not be metabolized normally, so it is easy to have a high jaundice value, but after 3 days of birth of full-term newborns, the jaundice value in the body is generally lower than 12.9mg/dl, and after 3 days of birth of premature newborns, the jaundice value is generally less than 15mg/dl, if the newborn has been born for 10 days, but the jaundice value test result is still 17mg/dl, which is slightly higher than the normal situation, which is not a normal situation.

At this time, you can irradiate blue light according to the doctor's guidance to help the body produce water-soluble bilirubin, so that too much bilirubin can be excreted from the body through urine or sweat, which can have the effect of reducing jaundice to a certain extent, but when irradiating blue light, you need to protect your baby's eyes, anus, perineum and other places. Under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as human albumin and human immunoglobulin can also be used to reduce the level of bilirubin in the body, and if the patient's internal condition is more serious, exchange transfusion therapy can also be used to intervene.

If the newborn's skin is yellow, it is recommended to cooperate with the doctor for examination as soon as possible, determine the treatment plan as soon as possible, and carry out targeted treatment.
