Patient's question:
My child is a premature baby, the firstborn, and was diagnosed with jaundice during a hospital check-up. I heard that jaundice requires blue light treatment, so I want to ask everyone, how many days of blue light treatment are needed for newborn jaundice?Doctor's answer:
A child with jaundice for 19 days absolutely requires hospital treatment. We say that in this case, blue light therapy is essential. Generally, blue light therapy, intravenous albumin infusion, or even blood transfusion treatment may be needed. Light therapy is the most commonly used pale yellow method in hospitals and is a very safe physical treatment! Typically, the hospital stay lasts for 7-14 days. If it is pathological, the hospital stay is usually shorter. It is recommended to consult with the doctor in detail about the child's condition before proceeding with treatment.
