Question
A 15-day-old newborn has jaundice with a highest value of 15.8, which fluctuates repeatedly. Since yesterday, the milk intake has decreased and the baby is drowsy. Should I consider blue light treatment?
Answer
Recurring newborn jaundice, along with symptoms of decreased milk intake and drowsiness, may necessitate further examination to determine the cause. In some cases, blue light therapy can be a method for treating pathological jaundice. It is recommended to consult with a doctor for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
