My son is of 21 days old and he is still having jaundice. When we have checked with our pediatrician he checked baby's jaundice level with bilirubinometer and device has shown the levels as 13.3mg/dl. He suggested to get it checked again after a week. Normally by when the jaundice will be cured in newborns. Should we need to worry about his levels now??
