Patient's question:
My baby has been home for nine days since birth, and the child has had jaundice the entire time. The doctor said it can be treated with blue light therapy. For newborn jaundice, how many days of blue light treatment are needed before discharge?Doctor's answer:
Generally, newborns may have physiological jaundice. Generally, it can disappear on its own within half a month. If the child's jaundice symptoms are severe, blue light therapy can also be used. Generally, it takes about a week. Jaundice is related to many factors. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and swimming can be done. During this period, I recommend giving the child some water appropriately to help them urinate more, which is also very beneficial for jaundice.
