Neonatal jaundice: This is physiological jaundice. 9 mg on 8th. Day is ok.You can put him in morning sunlight between 8-9 A.M. For 20 - 30 min, cover his eyes, make sure he doesn't get too hot from sun or too cold from being exposed. Physiological jaundice starts on 3rd day, peaks 5-7 day age, then starts faeding. Make sure he is feeding and pooping well.

Depends: If your son was born at full term and remain healthy, the level of bilirubin is not of concern. That level of bilirubin is also fairly common in breast fed newborns. Monitoring the level is all needed.

We have leadlight windows in our home and a dust sample tested very high. Results were 1980 g/dL. I have a 3 yr old son Im so worried about now. We have removed the lead from the windows. Once we remove the dust will it ever go back to safe levels?
When coming home yesterday at around 7pm I sat in taxi then I saw the window had red things like dried blood I didn't touch as I checked my hands and there was no blood on it. later at midnight I touched myself around my private parts. can I get HIV?
