Patient's question:
Hello doctor! My best friend's nephew was born a few days ago, but he developed jaundice on the third day and was sent to get blue light treatment. Is this condition serious? How long will it take to fully recover? I'd like to ask, what causes jaundice in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Newborn jaundice is divided into physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. In such cases, blue light treatment is required. The duration of treatment should be determined based on the child's jaundice symptoms and severity. A thorough examination can be conducted to distinguish whether the jaundice is physiological or pathological, and corresponding treatment should be administered based on the examination results.
