Unconjugated Bilirubin level
Hello Docs
My daughter is 9 days old, the unconjugated value at 5th day was 19 and she was treated with phototherapy. That came down to 12 after 24 hours.
Today is 9th day and the value again rose to 16.
The doctor said this is normal and we can wait for stools to pass. But stool is not coming, its been 3 days. What should i do so that stool passes by and if the bilirubin values are concerning?
