Question
How long does it take for a newborn to be discharged after blue light treatment for jaundice?
Answer
Generally, newborns may have physiological jaundice, which usually disappears on its own within about half a month. If the jaundice symptoms are more severe, blue light treatment can be used, and the treatment duration is generally about a week. During the treatment period, it is recommended to provide adequate hydration and encourage the baby to urinate more, which can help alleviate the symptoms of jaundice.
