Patient's question:
Baby is almost two weeks old. Jaundice hasn't gone away. Family members are worried and took him to see a doctor. The doctor said the jaundice level is high and must be treated with blue light. I want to know how many days does newborn jaundice treatment with light last?Doctor's answer:
Newborns with jaundice can engage in more exercise. Get more sun exposure. Drink more water. This can help promote the excretion of jaundice. Blue light treatment for newborn jaundice typically requires about 10 days. If the baby's jaundice is severe, it may need a longer treatment duration. The specific time depends on the amount of bilirubin in the child's body. This will determine the child. In addition to blue light, appropriate sunlight and medication should also be given to the child.
