Patient's question:
My baby has been with us for nine days since birth, and the child has always had jaundice. Dr. Huang said it can be treated with blue light. How many days does newborn jaundice need to be exposed to blue light before discharge?Doctor's answer:
Newborns can generally experience physiological jaundice again under normal circumstances, which usually resolves on its own within half a month. If a child's jaundice symptoms are severe, phototherapy can be administered as a treatment, which typically requires about a week. Jaundice is related to multiple factors. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and exposure to sunlight can be considered to help the child eat and promote metabolic decomposition. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
