Patient's question:
My baby was carefully diagnosed with jaundice a while ago, and is now undergoing blue light treatment. I'm worried about potential side effects. What are the side effects of jaundice blue light treatment?Doctor's answer:
Blue light therapy is a method that utilizes skin to refine light waves to enhance the excretion of bilirubin in the body, thereby achieving the goal of jaundice reduction. After blue light therapy, patients may experience symptoms such as dry skin, loss of appetite, and fatigue. These symptoms typically disappear after the therapy is discontinued. Parents should ensure their children are adequately hydrated after treatment to stabilize dehydration symptoms. During treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
