Question
Do newborn jaundice light therapy have side effects?
Answer
Newborn jaundice light therapy may occasionally cause side effects such as fever, rash, and vomiting, which disappear as the treatment concludes. Meanwhile, during treatment, it’s essential to provide the baby with ample water and, if breastfeeding, to consume more milk. The specific treatment situation depends on the condition, and the doctor will also inform you of any precautions. There is no need to worry excessively.
