Got a baby daughter 17days old now. she had neonatal jaundice at 17.9 points. we got her photo therapy for 36 hours and levels came to 12.

Treatment/Management: The trend is in the right direction, and normalizing. Keeping your daughter hydrated will help the process. If you notice any jaundice or yellow tinge to her sclerae ( the white area of the eye ), a follow up level should be obtained. Congratulations on her birth, and the vast majority of infants who are treated with phototherapy for jaundice do very well.
