Patient's question:
My child began to show some yellowing on their body shortly after birth. Later, after being examined at the hospital, we found out that this was due to neonatal jaundice. Will neonatal jaundice recur after being exposed to blue light?Doctor's answer:
Newborns with high jaundice index. The main treatment methods include blue light irradiation and oral medication. Or intravenous administration of jaundice treatment drugs. As long as the jaundice index can decrease in a timely manner. It doesn't matter. The main goal is to avoid serious complications such as bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus. Severe cases may require blood transfusion treatment. It generally does not recur. How high is the child's jaundice value now? It is recommended to consult the doctor in detail about the child's condition.
