Question

My child started showing some yellowing shortly after birth, and later, a hospital check-up revealed it was caused by neonatal jaundice. Will neonatal jaundice reappear after blue light therapy?

Answer

For newborns with high levels of jaundice, the primary treatment is blue light therapy combined with oral medication or intravenous administration of anti-jaundice drugs. As long as the jaundice index can be reduced in a timely manner, recurrence is generally not a concern. It is recommended to understand your child’s condition in detail and closely follow the doctor’s advice.
