This can happen with phototherapy. The levels can first rise and then the phototherapy actually starts working. The doctors performing phototherapy should be acquainted with this phenomenon if they used lamps earlier. In 3 bilirubin-level charts, 3 different babies with 3 different bilirubin levels are shown. Sometimes, the levels first rise and then start sinking, and sometimes the levels automatically start sinking.
