Patient's question:
Baby is almost two weeks old, jaundice hasn't gone away, family is worried and took him to see a doctor. The doctor said the jaundice level is high and must be exposed to blue light. I want to know how many days does newborn jaundice light treatment last?Doctor's answer:
Newborns with jaundice can engage in more exercise, get more sunlight exposure, and drink more water to promote the excretion of jaundice. Blue light treatment for newborn jaundice typically lasts for about 10 days. If the baby's jaundice is severe, it may require a longer treatment duration. The specific time depends on the amount of bilirubin in the child's body, which helps determine the child. In addition to blue light, appropriate sunlight exposure and medication should also be provided to the child.
