Question
How long does it take for newborn jaundice to be treated with blue light?
Answer
Jaundice in newborns usually resolves within 15 days after birth. If the jaundice does not disappear after 15 days, this may indicate pathological jaundice, which requires active treatment. For patients with pathological jaundice, more sun exposure can be beneficial, as can the blue light therapy method. Generally, blue light treatment is needed for about a week.
