Patient's question:
My baby developed neonatal jaundice right after birth. Because the jaundice level was high, the doctor recommended that the baby is undergoing blue light treatment. I would like to ask how long the child needs to be exposed to the blue light?Doctor's answer:
Long-term blue light treatment can provide a clear judgment based on the specific condition of the newborn. Since blue light exposure varies depending on the child's condition, the treatment process differs accordingly. Generally, the treatment process lasts for 1-3 days per course. During the treatment, as long as the baby's bilirubin level drops to the normal range, the blue light treatment can be stopped. It is recommended that you consult the doctor in detail about your child's condition.
