Jaundice in infant
I had a c-sec on 25th of sep. I had a baby boy. After birth he was not detected any sign of jaundice. Now he is 10 days old and his bilirubin is 15mg. Is it dangerous?

If his weight is more than 3 kgs for a 10 day old baby , You can wait . If jaundice persists beyond 15 days then see a pediatrician. Your baby may require further investigations.
