A. It is on the higher side you can check with the doctor because I think keeping in phototherapy for 24 hours would be good along with that you should keep your child into indirect sunlight every day twice in a day for at least 30 to 40 minutes

Q. My baby is 17 days old and is having jaundice. His jaundice was recognised after 3rd day of birth and at that time his bilirubin was 16 so we got him to a Nicu for a day. He was discharged when his bilirubin was 8 and after 5 days we again got him tested and his bilirubin was13.8 and again after 4 days his bilirubin is now at 15.4 .
