Patient's question:
Newborn jaundice blue light treatment. Good. I want to ask for some advice. My nephew was tested for jaundice on the third day of birth, and the results were normal. It's now the tenth day. Today, I went to the hospital for a check-up and had his levels measured. The cheek reading was 22, and the forehead reading was 18.Doctor's answer:
Currently, we can only say that it is close to the danger level. We recommend observation and blue light therapy. Additionally, even if it is blue, it usually takes three days. Most full-term newborns develop after birth, becoming more noticeable on the 4th to 5th day. The trunk and limbs will turn. After the 5th to 6th day, it gradually decreases and disappears completely by the 7th to 10th day. The current level is not severe and does not affect the child's health. Special treatment is not needed at this time. The effective method to eliminate physiological is to give the baby three to five doses a day, each consisting of one spoon of glucose, one spoon of sugar powder, and one spoon of water.
