Patient's question:
A baby in my best friend's family just gave birth a few days ago. When I visited her the first two times, she said the baby has biliary atresia and needs further treatment in the hospital. I want to ask if jaundice in infants with biliary atresia can be reduced by blue light therapy?Doctor's answer:
Usually, jaundice in newborns is a common neonatal disease. Considering the physical development of newborns, the effect of blue light treatment for jaundice is quite good. If the newborn has physiological jaundice, it can usually be completely recovered after 2 weeks of treatment. It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination of the newborn's jaundice condition for symptomatic treatment.
