Patient's question:
How many days does newborn jaundice need to be exposed to blue light? At 6 days, the baby's total bilirubin is 293. Blue light has been used for 3 days. Visually, it doesn't look yellow anymore. Can I take the baby home? Can I take medicine to reduce jaundice at home?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, consider pathological jaundice with types such as breast milk jaundice, blood type incompatibility, liver and biliary diseases, etc.! It requires hospital treatment. Oral medication combined with blue light irradiation therapy is used to prevent bilirubin encephalopathy. Regular monitoring is necessary! After taking oral probiotics and Yin Zhi Huang, the baby will have more bowel movements and excrete more. This is beneficial for the appropriate sun exposure according to the blue light irradiation for several days. The duration needs to be determined based on the patient's condition. It is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
