Patient's question:
My son was born a few days ago, but recently I noticed that his little face is yellow, but his milk intake and bowel movements are normal. My son's condition might be neonatal jaundice. Is it good to treat neonatal jaundice with blue light?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal jaundice, if the jaundice index exceeds the normal range, along with symptoms such as poor appetite and irritability, of course, phototherapy is the best method with relatively fewer side effects. The main method is intermittent irradiation. The main focus is on promoting bilirubin photography, and during the treatment, it is essential to pay attention to the care of the baby's eyes and perineum. A black cloth or diaper must be used to cover, and it is necessary to ensure that the baby receives sufficient heat while also paying attention to skin care.
