Patient's question:
The baby has been born for about four or five days. Looking a bit yellow in the face, I took it outside to bask in the sun, but it still remains yellow. I went to see a doctor, who said it's neonatal jaundice and needs to be exposed to blue light. So, I'd like to know how many days of blue light treatment are needed for neonatal jaundice?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if the newborn's jaundice is severe, blue light treatment is needed. Generally, the child will undergo blue light treatment for about five days. The specific exposure time should be determined based on the child's condition. Generally, if the infant's jaundice does not return within two weeks, a liquid test is required, and then a decision will be made on whether treatment is necessary. Therefore, parents should not worry too much, as newborn jaundice is a normal phenomenon. It is important to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
