Patient's question:
Female, 1-month illness/symptoms: Pathological neonatal jaundice. What are the side effects after blue light exposure? What are the precautions after discharge and going home?Doctor's answer:
Generally, jaundice begins to subside about half a month after a newborn is born. This is physiological jaundice. However, if jaundice becomes severe too early or recurs after subsiding, it may be pathological jaundice.Guidance: Generally, pathological jaundice requires timely identification of the cause and symptomatic treatment. Blue light therapy can help subside it early. Blue light therapy is harmful to the eyes, so the eyes need to be covered during exposure to blue light. Others are usually not discharged, but should be fed reasonably and kept warm to avoid catching a cold.
