A. yes its in acceptable range if no risk factor Yellowish discoloration of skin and sclera are the complaint. Generally jaundice should be resolved before completing 3 wks ie 21 days of life. If jaundice persist beyond 21 days then need to investigate other c causes of increase in jaundice level. If newborn jaundice is more than the normal value then need to give blue light called as phototherapy light If jaundice develop after 21 days of life Then it may also be called as breast milk jaundice. Visit ur nearst pediatrician once.
