What is the normal value of jaundice in babies

The normal value of jaundice in full-term babies is the sameprematureIt's different. Typically, the normal value for jaundice in full-term newborns is 12.9 mg/100 ml, which means that the blood bilirubin level in 100 ml is less than 12.9 mg.prematureThe normal value of jaundice is 15 mg/100 ml of blood, that is, the level of bilirubin in 100 ml of blood is less than 15 mg.

When the baby's jaundice value exceeds 12.9 mg/dl, or the neonatal jaundice index rises too quickly (more than 5 mh/dl per day), or the jaundice lasts longer than the full-term infant and resolves within 14 days, the preterm infant resolves within 4 weeks, or the jaundice resides.It means that the neonatal jaundice is unhealthy and may have pathological jaundice.

Pediatric jaundice infant jaundice index standard

Experts believe that jaundice is generally divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice, as long as it exceeds the scope of physiological jaundice, it is called pathological jaundice.

1. Physiological jaundice

Usually, the skin of newborns can be seen to be a little yellow with the naked eye after 2 days of birth, reaching a peak in 3-5 days, and disappearing in 7-10 days, at this time, the jaundice index (serum bilirubin value) is generally not more than 15mg/dL is within the normal range.

2. Pathological jaundice

There are many causes of pathological jaundice, followed by full-term childrenprematureThe standards are different, and mothers will be sent to the hospital for observation as long as they find the following conditions:

(1) Jaundice is found within 24 hours of birth in newborns, which is "early-onset jaundice".

(2) The jaundice index rises too high all of a sudden, increasing by more than 5mg/dL a day, which is more common hemolytic jaundice (the blood type of the mother and the baby is incompatible).

(3) The jaundice index rises too high, with 15mg/dL.

(4) The duration is too long, the general physiological jaundice lasts for 7-10 days, if it is more than 2 weeks, it should be noted.

What to do if jaundice is high in children

Newborns will have jaundice from 3-5 days after birth, which is a normal phenomenon, and the jaundice index should generally not exceed 15mg/dL, which is the normal range and is physiological, parents do not need to be too nervous, but if the jaundice index is high, you can try the following methods.

1. Drink plain water.

The child must be fed 30ml of boiled water every morning and evening, and drink an appropriate amount of water during the day, so that the child can get rid of jaundice in the body as soon as possible. If you are breastfeeding, it is fine, but if you are drinking formula, you should add water.

2. Drink glucose.

When the newborn jaundice index is high, give the child some glucose water, add glucose to the water, and feed the child to drink, which is an effective way to get rid of jaundice.

3. Bask in the sun.

Every morning around 10 o'clock, when the sun is not very strong, give the child the sun, try to get as much sun as possible to the child's skin, but not the eyes.

4. Stop breastfeeding.

If none of the above methods work, then stop breastfeeding for 2-3 days, because the cause of high jaundice may be breast milk, so after stopping breastfeeding, the jaundice index will decrease.

If the jaundice index is high for a long time, it may be pathological, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
