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. I would like 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 situation, blue light therapy is necessary. Generally, blue light therapy, intravenous albumin infusion, or even blood transfusion treatment may be required. Light therapy is the most commonly used pale yellow method in hospitals and is a very safe physical treatment! Usually, the hospital stay lasts for 7-14 days. If it is pathological, the hospital stay is shorter. It is recommended to consult with the doctor in detail about the child's condition before proceeding with treatment.
