Patient's question:
The baby said that the newborn had jaundice shortly after birth, not very serious. A friend said that taking the child for blue light treatment would help. I want to ask if newborns with jaundice have any side effects from blue light treatment, and how long does it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello, blue light exposure is a method for treating infant jaundice. During the exposure, it is necessary to protect the baby's eyes and perineum. Generally, it has no effect on the baby. How long does it last? It depends on the severity of the infant's condition and recovery. There is individual variation. For your baby's current condition, you can first go to the hospital, it is not very serious. You can also give the child some medicine first. Then, give the child a moderate amount of water to drink.
