Patient's question:
When the baby was 14 days old, neonatal jaundice appeared. At that time, blue light treatment was administered. Now the jaundice has basically subsided, but the whites of the eyes are still a bit yellow. I would like to ask, how long does it usually take for the whites of the eyes to turn yellow due to jaundice in newborns to subside?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby developed jaundice at 14 days. At that time, it was treated with blue light. Now, the jaundice has basically disappeared, but the white blood cells are still yellow. Pathological jaundice or physiological jaundice can cause hardening and yellow staining. There is no jaundice in other parts of the baby's body, which indicates that the jaundice is mild and will not affect health, so there is no need to worry. Currently, treatment can be carried out under the guidance and advice of the doctor.
