Patient's question:
Neonatal jaundice blue light treatment. Okay, I'd like to ask, my nephew's level was normal on the third day after birth. Now it's the tenth day, and today I went to the hospital for a check-up and had his level 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 days 4-5, with appearing on the torso and limbs. After days 5-6, it gradually decreases and disappears completely by days 7-10. The level is not severe now and does not affect the child's health, so special treatment is not needed for now. The effective method to eliminate physiological is to give the baby three to five doses a day of one spoonful of glucose water, one spoonful of sugar powder, and one spoonful of water.
