Patient's question:
The doctor said the jaundice was too high. Previous treatment and effectiveness: exposed to blue light, blood tests, and careful examination of the results: after exposure to blue light, the lips turned purple. What kind of assistance is needed: is the purple lips a result of exposure to blue light?Doctor's answer:
High-level treatment is basically based on blue light therapy and intravenous fluid infusion. Advice: The bluish discoloration of the lips is not due to blue light exposure. I don't know if the bluish discoloration you mentioned occurred under blue light or if it was also present without blue light exposure? If it occurred under exposure to blue light, it might be due to light reflection, which is not a concern. If the bluish discoloration appeared without blue light exposure, further investigation is needed, as it could be caused by factors such as aspiration of water.Survival care: When using blue light therapy, it is important to protect the eyes and reproductive organs. Encourage the child to drink more water—to replenish lost fluids and to aid in the metabolism of jaundice.
