Hi ... Usually the bilirubin levels come down to less than 2 by 1 month after birth...we need to see the baby and do some blood tests to know why his bilirubin is still high ...if he otherwise alright then you can repeat bilirubin after 1 week and decide to see a nearby Pediatrician or Neonatologist..
