My baby boy who is just 8-days old, his value of Jandous is Continuously changing, some times it goes to 16.4, some times 10.4, some times 12.4, some times 13.4. I am very much worried about him.

My grandson was born jaundiced due to the RH factor of my daughter's blood & he is fine.

If you are breastfeeding, let him feed as often as he wants to.  This helps lower the bilirubin level.

Jaundice is common in newborns, especially premature babies. Does your son have hepatitis or are you asking if hepatitis could be causing the jaundice?
Your baby's bilirubin level is not high enough for you to be worried, 25 is considered dangerous and he's well below that. He's being treated by the drs with ultra violet therapy and that's the best thing to do for him.
Try not to worry. Be happy that the other tests are clear.
