POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a newborn, bilirubin levels vary depending on the age in hours and other factors. At 4 days old, a bilirubin level of 16 mg/dL is on the higher side and may indicate jaundice.
Neonatal jaundice is common, especially in the first few days after birth, but a level of 16 mg/dL is concerning and may require treatment, such as phototherapy, to lower the bilirubin levels and prevent complications like kernicterus (a type of brain damage).
It's crucial to consult with your pediatrician immediately to determine the appropriate treatment for your baby.
