Patient's question:
The next day, the doctor measured the jaundice index at 15 with the instrument. The third day, it was measured at 18.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to use blue light therapy, as it has minimal impact on the baby. Physiological jaundice typically appears 2-3 days after birth, peaks between the 5th and 7th day, and resolves within 10-14 days. In premature infants, it may persist until the 3rd to 4th week. It is advised to follow the doctor's treatment plan and avoid using medication arbitrarily.
