Question
How long does it take for the jaundice to disappear after blue light therapy in a 15-day-old newborn?
Answer
Jaundice in newborns usually begins within 2-3 days, peaks at 5-7 days, and resolves between 10-14 days. Within 15 days, it is considered a regression period. After blue light therapy, the recovery is usually good, and the jaundice can be expelled shortly thereafter. After the treatment, observe and expose to sunlight. Hope this helps, and wish you health!
