Patient's question:
My daughter started showing signs of yellowing on her face just a few days after her birth. After the doctor conducted a thorough examination, it was discovered that this was due to a recurrence of jaundice, causing neonatal jaundice. How many days does it take to treat jaundice with blue light?Doctor's answer:
Newborn jaundice usually disappears within 15 days after birth. If the jaundice persists for more than 15 days, this may also indicate the recurrence of pathological jaundice. Pathological jaundice should be actively treated. For patients with pathological jaundice, more sunlight exposure can be helpful, or blue light therapy can be used to stabilize the condition. Generally, blue light therapy is required for about a week.
