Patient's question:
How many days does newborn jaundice need to be exposed to blue light?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn has jaundice after 20 days, it indicates pathological jaundice and should be promptly referred to a pediatric department in a formal hospital for follow-up examination to identify the cause and actively treat it. If it is not caused by bile duct obstruction, jaundice-relieving medications can be used, and phototherapy treatment is very effective. The duration of phototherapy should be determined based on the specific condition, generally lasting about one to two weeks.
