Question
During the treatment of newborn jaundice, doctors recommend sunlight therapy, but it is not about direct exposure to sunlight. Instead, it is through indirect Irradiation. What should be noted when performing this type of sunlight therapy?
Answer
Hello, sunlight therapy is indeed an effective auxiliary method during the treatment of newborn jaundice. The ultraviolet rays of the sun can have a certain effect on alleviating the symptoms of jaundice. When performing sunlight therapy, there is no need to see the sun directly; it is sufficient to ensure that there is enough ultraviolet light exposure, such as through windows or through obstacles. In addition, the intensity of sunlight therapy does not need to be too strong; moderate ultraviolet light exposure is beneficial for newborns. At the same time, it is recommended to perform sunlight therapy under the guidance of a doctor to ensure the health and safety of the baby.
