Hi, jaundice in newborn are of two types physiological and pathological. Physiological jaundice is seen in almost all the babies and it result within 7 days. Pathological jaundice continues to increase and needs to be treated. I advise you to do total bilirubin levels and direct bilirubin levels in child. based on that treatment needs to be started.
